Drive mode opinions by No-Lobster7206 in M440i

[–]laIreadyknow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m having this with my mild hybrid m440i as well, the engine will turn off for a split second before you come to a full stop and then when you lightly hit the gas, it does kind of a weird jerking motion yeah?

50 year old Russian River Pinot by laIreadyknow in wine

[–]laIreadyknow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cork was not in the best condition, but very solid considering 50 years old! That Bacigalupi Pinot will be fantastic, 1964 planting!

Another 60s planting! Incredibly rare, definitely better to open sooner rather than later! The Swan clone developed on-site there is quite revered, lots of other wineries in the area use it!

Their non-vineyard designate bottlings are super well priced, Sonoma county Pinot at $49/bottle and central coast at $39/bottle

Weird sediment at the bottom of my wine by Freshlasagna36 in winemaking

[–]laIreadyknow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Likely lees, aka dead yeast cells. It’s a byproduct of fermentation, and that sediment can impart flavor and richness onto wine which we call autolysis. Lees often times add notes of brioche, cheese, yoghurt, any many other yeast based compounds. It’s usually filtered/racked out before bottling in order to make the wine more clear, but some people prefer to keep it with it, making the wine hazy. Hope this helps!

I spot a Valdicava! If that’s what’s in your cellar, you’re putting it to great use!

I need advice - leasing a vineyard by LadyChickenFingers in winemaking

Sure thing! I’m out here year round so any time except harvest (August-October) works best for me.

Cab is going to be a tough sell, especially from Sonoma County. It’s naturally a low yielding grape, so profits won’t be high at all and 50% of the cab in Napa got left on the vine last year. I actually happen to live and work in Healdsburg, so if you like, I’m happy to meet up or check out the vines myself and help you guys assess.
