Harvest Pics

Coopersmith Vineyard at the Merry Edwards Winery

Finally got my pics uploaded to the comp, so I thoght I'd post a few. No grapes today so I ended up getting my day off for the week... decided to sleep in and go wine tasting. Had a great, relaxing time checking out Saphire Hill, Roadhouse, Stryker, Stonestreet, Medlock Ames and Ridge. Now, time to get some sleep and get ready for some serious harvest action!

Dumping the Pinot into the "hopper", where it will make its way to the sorting table, through the destemmer into the tanks
