| It's been a few weeks since we last had work to do in the winery-in-the-garage . Today we had to rack both of the wines again to get rid of the lees on the bottom. Note how clear the chardonnay is getting. I know it looks very overly yellow in this carboy container, but check out the next photo of the wine in the glass. |

| In the glass you can tell that it is very nearly clear. It's a really pretty and transparent color. The last time we tasted it we thought we were going to have to throw out the whole batch. It smelled sulphur-y and was not inviting to try. Today, much to our surprise and relief it has changed; it's very crisp and to me tastes sauvignon blanc-like. We are hoping it stays that way. I think we made a good decision to get it off the oak so quickly. |

| Here is the Soldato being racked into a new carboy...tasting smooth and delicious! We were thrilled when all of our kids gave it a big thumbs up when they sampled on Superbowl Sunday! |

| Good legs, crisp taste, and best of all, will be drinkable by this summer! |
