      yes, I allready have blended some of it, with some of the grenache, and the cabernet..... and it certainly adds "weight"

                    Will he have any idea of dates for harvest or is it too early to tell yet?

                    I'm toying with the idea of making a gallon or so of white (ish) wine from red grapes. Am I talkin out of my passage again?

                            Yup, that's what I thought. I will give it more thought but it may depend on what grapes are available.

                              I am planning on "working" the grapes I get this year, using free run juice to make white wine from red grapes as you indicte you wish to have a go at, freezing and thawing (as in steves excellent icewine tutorial) some going through cold soak, some not, producing a rose from reds only macerated for a short while, meaning the remaining juice has more skins per gallon in it....

                              I'm getting giddy allready (but that might be because the lovely M is due home from work in an hour )
