Hi Dave,
It might be dry enough, but I guess I'm concerned about the amount of
sediment left in the wine if it hasn't been racked enough. I follow Jack's
advice; rack, sorbate, and let sit for at least 10 days before bottling, but
this is usually after the Welchs has sat for 7 months and been racked 2-3
times already.
