Fermentation is almost complete.

I made a trip to the winery tonight to check my numbers. The temps are coming down - recording a drop of 10 degrees over two days. And, fermentation is drawing to a close. Specific Gravity readings came in at 1003 and 1001 for tanks 1 and 2 respectively. These translate to less than 1% sugar remaining.

Fermentation will complete tomorrow, and we'll transfer the young wine from the plastic fermentation bins into the oak barrels. The wine will spend the next year or more in these barrels, slowly transforming into a polished fine wine.
