For the bleeding, the goal was obviously to not just dilute the must, but end up with basically the same amount of liquid in the tank, just that the Brix would be in line with what you wanted. Never heard the term "Jesus units", but I'm open-minded... The acidification was totally expected, of course, and it pretty common these days in pre-ferment. I wanna come see! Also looking forward to the next installment! --R Hey Josh, part 2… even better than part 1!

Thanks for the honest account of the winemaking process and the decisions you're faced with along the way. It's way more interesting than the standard PR line of "We let the vineyard do all the work" ! This is great stuff, Josh.
