My diary as a new assistant winemaker at AP VIN, an urban winery in San Francisco.

Cleaning is a a huge part of winemaking

Gary and Kevin volunteered to help crush grapes. When they arrived we were adjusting the acid and sugar levels of the Keefer Ranch must. That involved bleeding some juice and replacing it with acidulated water. They are cleaning up the mess.
