Crunching Numbers

We have been lucky to have one of our growers, Patti Green co-proprietor of Deux Vert Vineyard, join us in the cellar to lend a hand during this year's harvest. Patti is checking each fermenter every day to monitor the progress of the fermentation and searching for potential problems before they become problems. Here she is drawing a sample to check how much sugar remains to be fermented. The progress of each fermenter is noted each day in a spreadsheet that records every detail.
