Hi there…

If you are accessing this page, it is because you have a bottle of wine in your hand.

I would like to thank Susy and Francisco for inviting us to enjoy some wine and hopefully some of the excellent chifrijos made by Susy that I have enjoyed in the past.

This wine was made in Sugar Land, using a Chilean Malbec juice and must. And no, it is not a mistake, is Chilean, as I couldn’t find a good Argentinian when I bought this one. I will do better next time.

Transferring from the primary to the secondary fermenter

I started the primary fermentation in September, then moved the wine from the primary fermenter bucket to the secondary fermenter carboy. The secondary fermentation was completed at the end of October, so it is a fresh wine. But don’t worry, it doesn’t get better sitting in the fridge.

The fridge is another story. It was not appreciated by the architect that I decided to put the fridge in the living room totally changing the decoration…. well, there was no other place where to put it. Wine is more important than decoration.

Next, I have to sanitize the bottles, so one way of doing it is using the dishwasher.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
