Bottling Part II

Part of the challenge of the truck being stuck means we have to hand carry the empty and full cases up the hill. The forklift won’t make it up the hill with a load.

The crew for today is Stefania, Jerry, his wife Estella, Ingrid and me. Ingrid will mostly be in the winery. She works the pumps and tank on bottling day.


We have gotten one task done today. We hand bottled nine Syrah magnums and three Haut Tubee magnums. We’ll do twelve Pinot Noir later today.
