A Week of good weather

July 29, 2009 · Filed under Uncategorized

We are really enjoying some nice weather with early morning fog and temps in the low nineties. This enables us to cut back on our irrigation and conserve water for later in the year. We have our three new (used) stainless tanks ready to move into the barrel room in preparation for trial blending our ’08 wines in a few weeks. We will spend a day moving the barrels out, topping them all up  and checking the SO2 levels before moving the tanks in and replacing the barrels. It’s not a real busy time here but there’s always something to do.
