@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Q. @JMJardine @FlowersWinery focuses on Pinot Noir and #Chardonnay- what is the reason behind this focus? #WineWednesday #SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine): A. @KeeperColl Founders Joan & Walt Flowers set out to produce #Pinot & #Chard in 1989 that could be on the same table as …?#SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine): A. @KeeperColl the great wines of Burgundy. They chose our vineyard sites specifically for this purpose and we honor #SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine): A. @KeeperColl that purpose everyday #SommChat

@GenaFeldmann (Gena Feldmann): Given the interesting weather patterns seen across the #US, @jmmardine @KeeperColl what are your areas of concern for 2013 harvest? #SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine):@genafeldmann current dry conditions not an issue today given our coastal location. soils are at water-holding capacity#SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine):@genafeldmann greatest concern given bountiful yields in 2012 is lack of carbohydrates causing low yields for 2013 #SommChat

@GenaFeldmann (Gena Feldmann):@jmjardine I see, thanks. Wish you all the luck! ?#SommChat

@winegalLynne (Lynne Bryant, CS): Q. @KeeperColl @jmjardine Did you have any challenges w/ 2011 vintage? #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection):RT ?@winegalLynne: Q. @jmjardine Mr. Jardin, did U ever notice UR last name means “garden” in French & U make #wine 4 “Flowers”?#SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine): @winegallynne actually, I did… a wonderful coincidence!?#SommChat

@winegalLynne (Lynne Bryant, CS): @KeeperColl Thanks for RT, I forgot #SommChat :-O

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine): @rachelvoorhees aww yeah… please share the recipe with all of us #SommChat

@TheWineKey (Charlotte): @RachelVoorhees @jmjardine @flowerswinery That sounds delicious! I am in need of breakfast ?#SommChat

@jasonswineblog (jasonswineblog): Enjoying following along on #SommChat with @FlowersWinerywinemaker @jmjardine If you haven’t tried their #wines yet do so. Fantastic stuff!

@GrapeBelt (Tom Riley):@travelwinechick Ah, IPOB on Monday. Great event. Learned a ton, tasted some terrific #wine. Glad some #winemakers understand acid #SommChat

@travelwinechick (Elizabeth Smith): @GrapeBelt Me, too. I love my acid + #food. #SommChat

@NobleRotNYC (Jonathan Cristaldi): Q. @JMJardine @FlowersWinery @Keepercoll Re: #Chardonnay… to MLF or not to MLF? And Why? #WineWednesday ?#SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine):@noblerotnyc Partial MLF = retain perfect acidity balance, reduce overall diacetyl #SommChat

@TheWineKey (Charlotte):@jmjardine What is your biggest #winemaking challenge due to your location? #SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine):@thewinekey extreme weather conditions… i.e. hurricane force winds/rain during harvest=crazy #SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine):@thewinekey technically we get 100+ inches a year of rain = growing grapes in coastal rain forest ?#SommChat

@alawine (Ken #wine): @jmjardine is there a timing issue with whole cluster fermentation, since it’s not just about the grapes #SommChat

@VintryFineWines (Vintry Fine Wines): Happy #winewednesday! We’re ready for #SommChat..better late than never!

@GrapeBelt (Tom Riley): @travelwinechick #Wine without an acid balance is a boring failure. #SommChat

@travelwinechick (Elizabeth Smith): Sounds perfect to me! RT ?@jmjardine: @noblerotnyc Partial MLF = retain perfect acidity balance, reduce overall diacetyl #SommChat

@winegalLynne (Lynne Bryant, CS): Q. @KeeperColl @jmjardine Do u find u use instinct more in #winemaking or logic? Perhaps both? R there times you just “know”? #SommChat

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine): @winegallynne tend to be more sensitive to intuition but needs to based in logic #SommChat

@KeeperColl (Keeper Collection): Over half of #SommChat hour has passed – keep you questions coming for @JMJardine

@jmjardine (Jason Jardine):@thewinekey yes, incredibly fast-paced. 2011 had to pick all #Chard during night b/c storm coming next morning. 1st day=11 inches #SommChat
