🍇 A throwback to Crush 2022 🍇

On this day we walked the vineyards to taste and pick samples of the grapes to determine the best time for harvest.

You taste the sweetness of their juice, the texture of their skins, the color of the seeds and how bitter they are.

Sauvignon Blanc, Hikaru’s white grape variety, is always harvested first and is the only juice that will not sit with their skins for added color like red grapes. It was hot as balls compared to the cellars but an informative stroll.

The backbone of some of the best Spanish wines, Tempranillo.
Tempranillo is a relatively thick-skinned red grape with a high anthocyanin count that makes deep-colored red wines with moderate tannins. In warmer climates like here in El Dorado, the variety can take on a darker fruit aspect with high alcohol, high tannins and low acidity.
The name, Tempranillo, comes from the Spanish temprano, meaning "little early one", which is fitting as it ripens earlier than other grapes native to Spain. She was our first red of the season to come down right before that crazy heatwave.
Classic food pairings for Tempranillo would be grilled smokey meats such as pork or lamb. It's a great choice for tomato-based dishes, including Lasagna and pizzas. Tempranillo is one of the few bold red wines that pairs well with dishes with a touch of spiciness such as Mexican or Indian dishes.
Di Arie's savory 2019 Tempranillo can be found on cgdiarie.com

🍇 Today we have been busy racking Syrah off of its lees before it goes to a tank where it will be cold stabilized.

Racking is the process of moving wine from one vessel to another to remove sediment before bottling.

This is an important step that should be performed 2-4 times throughout the winemaking process which will define the final wine and it’s quality.

Some classic wines are aged on their lees like Champagne and California Chardonnay. Most red wines are usually racked off of their lees before aging begins

While in Santa Monica at the convention I dined at 3 evenings in a row. The hand rolls are so delicious: warm seasoned rice, fresh fish, crisp nori. Do me a favor and don’t dip. The flavors are perfect. My only issue was they didn’t carry Hikaru wine and wouldn’t let me bring any outside wine even for a corkage fee. But their private label 1 cup sake was a great pairing so I had a blast.
