From Start to Ferment

This past weekend, Jeff and Kisa Skelton and all our friends at the winery came together to pick, crush, press and ferment the late harvest Vidal Blanc.  The top picture shows a group shot of our picking crew.  We enjoyed a beautiful day and a whole lot of friends made short work of our 1000 lbs of grapes.  The final press produced 100 + gallons of amazing juice.  Jeff helped crush and press the grapes before we introduced the special Sauternes yeast.  Our juice tastes amazing and if everything works out the way it should, the final wine will taste amazing and should be ready by next September.  I am looking forward to trying this wine as it develops.
