So, I tasted and topped up our wine today. It's coming along nicely! There's no longer any trace of H2S, it's really clear, the color seems to have improved (maybe because of evaporation in the barrel?), and it's very drinkable.
I added a bit over a quart to the barrel to top it off. I'll probably top it up a couple more times over the next 2 months. In February, we'll rack into a new barrel...which we don't actually have yet...but I'm sure that will get figured out in time. OR, we could use oak chips or sticks.

Nano-Uh Oh
So, it doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to finish my 50,000 word novel this month. I don’t quite have 10,000 words now, and it’s November 18. Darn. The good news is that this is the most fiction I’ve written since college, and I’m having a lot of fun with it when I actually do manage to find/make the time.
On another writing note, my first post on InternetEvolution.com went up last week. Check it out.
writing a novel this month
I’m considering doing NaNoWriMo this year. oh, heck, I’m going to…I’ll let ya’ll know how far I get. Or, check out my profile.
Now that the winemaking season is over, I have all sorts of free time.
I’m also writing a new blog/column thing over at Internet Evolution. My first post will go up on the site Thursday afternoon. Check it out.
