Advice on my kit wine - Selection Estate Series Yamhill CountyPinot Noir
One more piece of information. :*)
As suggested, I bulk aged it, so I added 1/4 teaspoon of Pot
Metabisulphite - this bulk aging was January 10th to July when I bottled
it. Then I let it sit until now to open it.
Just wondering if others have experienced this kit and if it is brownish
also, or if I should drink these 30 bottles this week. smile. snicker.
