I'm taking brix, pH and acid readings every few days now. It's getting
close to harvest. This year I will make three wines;

Chambourcin/NY73/Baco Noir blend
Vidal/Chardonel/Vignoles blend fermented cool
Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon blend

All these blends will be fermented together from the start. I'll only have
small amounts of the Chambourcin, Vignoles and C. Sauvignon this summer from
newer vines but I find these blended wines more complex and better tasting
than individual wines fermented alone.
