Wow Crazy

Harvest is here and gone!
I got married!
From Ground to Glass is done and DVDs are shipping!!!!!!

i hope you all get a chance to see it, live it, love it!
This year i am making a Cab Sauv again from Estelle Vineyard in Santa Ynez. Bryan Babcock calls the vineyard block, the "Loin" it is a completely different animal from last year, and will be interesting. already it feels like it will be complex and tasty, but much more of a French style to it. already on about 30% oak and falling bright. Also when i was there picking it up i spotted some chardonnay on the crush pad! had to have some to try. Bryan graciously sold me a small amount and i have about 15 gallons cooking i the livingroom! we full cluster pressed it in my #40 press and ran a quick ferment due to the fall heat. now it is cooler and the wine is falling bright and tasting good! more later...
please check out the film! what an oddessy to get to this point!
All the best!
