A Word on Pressing Down Caps

So I finally tried it... I tried to push down the caps formed on top of the wine in the stainless steel tanks. Lets just say it was a huge failure! I could not for the life of me do it. I tried using all of my weight to push the pole into the barrier of grapes, with little success... It was fun to give it a shot, but I think I should stick to the tasting room and leave the heavy lifting to the boys!

We're picking the last of our grapes today (the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Chambourcin) so I'll attempt to snag a bunch of each and let you know how they taste later today!
