Lee, Bob and Mike topped the wine barrels today from 1:00 to 2:15pm.  All the wine is tasting good and improving as time works its magic.  WE DID NOT TOP THE WA CAB because we forgot what we were topping it with.  We need to do that in the next day or two.  All barrels took about 3/4 of a bottle of wine with the Merlot and Cab in the new cooler taking nearly a bottle each.  The SS kegs with merlot and Sangio smell fine.  The Super Tucson is tasting better.  We broke one glass (1 gal) carboy down into a plat to top ID Malbec.  The plat with the WA Malbec was moved to a new plat because it appeared to be leaking.  I filled it with a Meta solution and hung it up to see. 

 

We put the remote thermometer in the new cooler and the old style in the old cooler due to speed of access.  Thing are looking good, BUT WE DO NEED TO TOP THE WA. CAB.   Mike
