Machine Harvesting…..
….the NY73 yesterday morning. In the misty rain! That big blue machine is the harvester and as you can see it straddles the row of grapes, shaking them off the vine as it goes down. I was hoping to get an up close and personal shot, but my camera ran out of battery power. Apparently, I’ve been taking a lot of photos lately!
Also, I got the name wrong. It isn’t being name “Et Noir” it’s being named “Noiret”.
Today we processed Concord grapes picked from over in St. James. I didn’t get a picture of them before they went throught the destemmer/crusher. So here they are after getting chewed up:
Not so appetizing to look at, I know. But, don’t worry concord fans, the wine will be delicious! Tomorrow we will be bringing in Vignoles grapes. Stay tuned….or better yet, come on by and check it out…we start at 9a.m.
Or come by this weekend. We won’t be processing, but we will have live music! Elliot Raney plays from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday and Stewart Johnson plays on Sunday from 1-4. Hope to see you soon!
