Caught Working

I was getting wet and dirty on the back crush pad after picking and crushing Chambourcin last weekend when someone picked up my camera and took this picture.  It doesn't happen very often but I got caught getting dirty.  I am cleaning up the crusher de-stemmer in anticipation for this upcoming week.  We hope that Saturday, October 13th will be our final day of picking as we pick the Cabernet Franc.  At this point we have an incredible harvest of exceptional quality fruit.  The weather has taken a turn and the temperatures are getting cool.  We hope the sunshine later in the week can dry off the fruit and give us a nice warm window of opportunity.  If you are free this Saturday, stop out to help us.  You will be rewarded with a great time with a great group of people and an awesome lunch.  You might even catch a glimpse of me working .... maybe.
