This episode covers my recent journey through the creation of a new wine. A pink wine. From grapes to finished wine that is almost bottle-ready three months later, this foray into rose has been an exciting new winemaking challenge. As an experiment I recorded this solo episode while driving home from work. Because I'm a captive in the car during the recording, it's part harvest chronology and a bit stream of consciousness. I hope that the winemaking decisions that I grappled with presents thought for others producing rose wines.
