We picked the last of the grapes (except for anything Late Harvest) on Thursday, right before the rain. The crew is really excited about the Cab this year...the low yields made the flavors go through the roof. Looking forward to releasing that 2008 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon in three years.
We had a little bowling, beer and pizza celebration after the grapes were brought in. To spice it up, we added a little Halloween costume contest into the mix this year. First place got about $350 cash....(part of a pool we all threw in), second and third, some wine.
I will preface this by saying that yes, I am a poor loser (I came in second). However, my costume was completely homemade AND wine related. Anyways, next year I think we need a more offical voting system...I HATE losing to a blow up doll.
And the winners are.....
3rd Place, Winemaker Stephen Tebb, a bottle of Clos LaChance WIne (with his lovely wife Kathleen as a bunch of grapes).
2nd place: Me, Cheryl Durzy, VP Sales and Marketing, Cork Dork (here with the Murphy clan, Brenda as some kind of weird curly haired dancer, Bill a hippie and Kristin a Sharks fan).
And 1st place, Jason Robideaux, Cellarmaster, as Ken and Barbie.
