The History of the Restaurant~by Jason Wright of Alchemy market |
Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 02/24/2009 03:39 PM

Yet properly combined with experience, they become the perfect blend. Much of the job is acting as steward to the grapes that are harvested after much toil and care in the vineyard. This is where the science comes in, monitoring fermentations, making adjustments to temperature, yeast nutrient levels and duration of fermentation. During the ageing process, ......
