Dreamin’ n Schemin’
February 20th, 2008 by Annette
What do winemaker’s dream about? This one dreams about tropical islands and a nice swim in a beautifully clear, warm ocean……but I also dream of Sauvignon Blanc. This time of year, that’s what I’m doing as I’m getting ready to blend our 2007 Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc! I love Sauvignon Blanc, especially on a warm summer’s day. Unlike other wines, I can honestly say I love all styles of Sauvignon Blanc (just had a nice Grgich S.B. tonight with dinner). Anyway, when it comes to this part of the winemaking process — blending, finishing, bottling — it just gets the gears turning in my head (and just when i worry they might be getting rusty) and gets me going. It’s exciting, envisioning how I think the wine will taste and then discover how it really turns out.
So, pictures to come in the next entry so you can see what’s goin’ on……but right now, it’s in my head, in my laboratory, and in my dreams…..
Thanks!
