Wine And Fishing
A beautiful Sunday morning here, although a little on the chilly side earlier. When I woke up at 7AM, it was only 35 degrees F in my town. But the sun was shining and it’s really nice to see the spring flowers blooming and foliage on the trees.
I just completed racking the Valpolicella that I started last week, to the secondary. Specific Gravity came in at 1.015. I’m not sure what the yeast is exactly, but there is not a lot of foam or the appearance of vigorous action – but it’s obviously doing its job.
Some of the airlocks on the wines, including the raspberry, black currant and garlic needed topped up, and a few other odd jobs were done.
I’ve also filtered a Supertuscan and will bottle it as well as bottling some Reisling that was filtered awhile ago.
Then, I’m off to do some fly fishing this afternoon and evening! I may also start a couple of wine kits that I’ve had for a few weeks but have not had the time to begin.
