Made Wine Yesterday
October 8, 2007 on 5:47 pm | In cabernet sauvignon, wine making |Yesterday, Dan and Kasey invited Meghan and I over to help them make a batch of Cabernet Sauvignon. They told us to wear “grubby” clothes because it would be messy. We started with 332 pounds of grapes in two 55 gallon trash bins. The grapes already had their skins broken in order to let the juice get a red coloring by marinating in the skins. We pressed all the grapes and strained the juice to make about 22-23 gallons. Kasey said the batch will be ready in a year or so. I can’t wait!
