Crush Those Grapes!

Well, finally our Zinfandel grapes came in from California. Of course in the meanwhile I've had surgery and couldn't do much with them. Fortunately my wife came to the rescue, picked them up and did most of the stomping.

Yep, we crushed them by stomping and not with a wine press. It's amazing how much fun it is to stomp them. I'd say it's even therapeutic.

I added a little pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient and yeast to the must. The grapes look great and taste great. I can't wait to taste the final product.
