Back to the Finger Lakes
We made a trip out to Keuka Lake on Saturday. I picked up 16 gallons of Riesling juice and 5 gallons of Concord. The Riesling looks perfect this year, with a hint of noble rot. Brix is 23.5, so no need to add sugar. The Concord was fairly inexpensive at only $4.75 a gallon. I figured I would take a crack at making a better wine than Manischewitz. The Concord brix was only 16.6, which means it needs a lot of added sugar. Oh well, Manischewitz doesn't exactly set the bar very high.
