A Wine Of A Different Color

We want to keep practicing our new craft but our Soldato is in a quiet season. There just isn't much to do right now except wait and be patient. A stop at a grape distributor in Vancouver BC helped fix that, and we are back in business, this time trying our hand at making a Chardonnay. Thus far it seems much less complicated than making red wine, but that seems sensible since white wine is less complex than red wine (at least to us).

Brad the Winemaker has pitched the yeast and added the bentonite for clarification. We are warming the room to enhance the fermentation process and will keep an eye on the sugar content. Fingers crossed we'll be sipping a nice chilled Chardonnay in the heat of this next summer! I know we've got some white wine lovin' family &friends to join us!
