So I know this is really late, but this is a video about tasting grapes. It was almost harvest time at O’Vineyards when I filmed this so we were tasting the grapes hoping that they’d be sweet and mature enough to send to the lab for some official results.
The video gives some wine maker insights from Ryan O’Connell into the complicated task of eating and tasting a grape. Okay, so it’s pretty simple, but there’s a video for you anyway.
It turns out that the Merlot is in fact ready for lab analysis and the ICV lab returned something like 14.4 potential sugar so we were ready to harvest that Merlot.
