We picked the majority of our Chambourcin two weeks after having picked the first batch (the grapes we used for the ros

This year, we were much more prepared for making wine and had all the necessary "ingredients" and lab equipment ready. We also decided to use the same type of yeast for all our wines. Check out this block of yeast:
