Morning Wake Up

12 hours with yeast and the wine/laundry room smells like a bakery!  The aroma is powerful but not bad.  Punching down has now begun because the yeast bubbles at the top and needs to be redistributed several times each day.  It also pushes the skins back down and distributes them among the juice.  

Now I just have to resist the urge to get out some good olive oil and have a nice hunk of bread.
