Last night I was down in the lab

Yesterday afternoon actually.

The Pinot Noir is ready for bottling - It has a bunch of tastes running around in it like a bunch of happy puppies. It should settle down in the bottle and come together into some really good wine.

My experiment with tyttebaer (lingonberry or cowberry) wine is about ready for bottling as well, I think. Tyttebaer is a very cranberryish sort of fruit and it is coming out quite dry. I might end up blending it with something, or a bunch of things.

Finally, I started some malbec. The starting gravity was off the charts. This means a ton of sugar, and that means it will end up on the sweet side, or it will have a bit of a kick to it.
