First thing this morning we pulled samples from all of the tanks and all of the whites in barriqe for tasting with Alain the enologist. The barrel samples of white were interesting, you have to kind of use your imagination, knowing that they will be mixed mostly in small percentages with the tank whites. The rose tanks are great, and I can't wait to taste them when they're complete. The red tasting was interesting too, we were considering which tanks were best for the Chateau Paul Blanc Syrah, which sees more time in wood, and which would be better for the Enfants Terribles and the Tradition. It was particularly interesting because Cyril and Nathalie didn't entirely agree with Alain on the blending, so after he left they pulled new samples of all the red tanks and tried blending them again in various permutations until they'd decided which ones to put where.
I'm off to the store again. I've been wearing the same clothes for a month and I'd really like to have at least one nice shirt to wear when I'm not working.
