Hammett's Crossing Vineyard Part 2

I never had a full appreciation for the work and skill and luck involved in the wine making process until I saw it being done at Hammett's Crossing Vineyard. We picked grapes, sorted them, destemmed them, washed them, cooled them down with ice, checked the sugar content 24(see photo), checked the pH 3 (adjusted slightly), poured into stainless steel tank, and later the wild yeast would be replaced with special wine making yeast to insure proper fermentation.

I probably missed a few things but you get the idea. It's a labor intensive labor of love.

I'll leave wine making to the experts!
