Golden Muscat/Niagara Wine

Alright we harvested the Golden Muscat/Niagara this past week and man it took all of 5 minutes. We had a handful of clusters this year but enough for jelly, juice and a little wine. Well this past week I took what we had of both varieties and blended them all together for about 2.5 gallons of juice to make some wine. I am not sure how it will turn out but thought I would give it a try. The brix were only 18 (which I think is normal) so I had to add some sugar to make the brix 22. Keep you posted on the results.

Side note-I will be bottling the '09 Merlot in the next couple of weeks to make room for the '10 Merlot. I can't believe I have had the patience to let this wine age for the past year but now I can't wait to bottle and drink. Oh yeah...it is ok. It won't win any competitions.
