Today we worked through a double header at Cassel Vineyards. First on the ticket was Greg and Chris and Clint starting the press at 8:00AM and extracting 375 gallons of juice from the Concord we picked yesterday. Next Jody, Anne, Elliot, Avery, Colton, Lee, Hunter, Dominic,Quentin and a whole host of other laborers who I can't begin to thank enough finished the last 3 1/2 rows of Concord picking. The grapes yielded incredibly well this year so they had quite a picking job and they stuck at it all until 5:30 when everything (5 tons) was picked. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped out both yesterday and today.
Finally, from 1:30 - 8:00 tonight our wine was featured at the Dauphin County Jazz and Wine Festival where 5,000 guests enjoyed samples and bought their favorite bottles of wine from 12 area vineyards in Hershey, Harrisburg and surrounding areas. The music was great and we heard so many wonderful compliments about our wines it made our night extra special. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and tried our wine and support our efforts through purchasing our product. We wouldn't and couldn't do it without you. It's time to go to sleep now so that we can get up and work our real jobs this week. See you next week at the winery.
