Friday was slow, meaning we did some cleaning in the cellar. At least they served a burger and fries for lunch. It made me feel at home. We did pump-overs on the weekend, so we could only get off the farm for a few hours on Saturday. We went wine tasting at two places. The first was smaller and good and the second was very big and not so good. Springfield Winery used wild yeasts for more complexity in the Chardonnay and Cabernet. The Sauvignon Blanc had a lot of mineral flavors because the vineyard is in a quartz field. Rooiberg Winery is across the road and not very exciting, but at $4 a bottle I shouldn't expect much. Dinner was chicken in a Spanish sauce called poll pepertoria, and it was amazing.

No one showed up to the Sunday lunch but us, so I ate as much as I could and fell asleep afterward. The highlights were ribs and lemon meringue pie. Today, we pressed all of the Colombard, but it came in at 17 brix instead of 20 which we sampled it at, so Marinus said he may have to add sugar.
