Planning wine for the Singalong Sound of Music this weekend, and thinking I'm going thematic—Reisling or Gewurztraminer. Any other thoughts on German wine, suitable for a Hollywood Bowl picnic?

Harvest & Crush
in Winemaking
I got working so late in the barn I forgot my #WineWednesday post: harvest and crush of the Syrah, or at least what survived the Great Mockingbird Attack of 2014.
After rolling up the nets, harvested and crushed all the Syrah in early morning/late evening Wednesday. The Zin is holding for a couple of days.
Now starts the sleepless period where grape must is checked and punched several times a day.
#Wine Wednesday
$300 later, I have wine yeast, a couple of new carboys, a backup supply of bottles for the remaining 2013 (and 375 ml bottles for limoncello) and a brand new tank for Argon gas.
Time for harvest, maybe. Now, if the grapes would just cooperate.
