Tough job...

...but somebody's got to do it!

I'm checking out the progress of the 2008 vintage Chez Ray, currently resting with oak slats in 3- and 5-gallon carboys. What that means is thieving a bit of wine from each carboy, and sipping!



The Alexandar Valley Syrah (Brehm code 534) is yummy indeed, especially with VQ-15 yeast.
