Picking up 150# of Chambourcin today!! Gonna be busy with my own little crush going on.

Picked up 50lbs of chambourcin grapes today, they are resting nicely in a fermenter dreaming of the little yeasties to join them.

We press the grapes today and the press worked great! I forget who brought up the front leg but, your right , I need to trim it back a little more . the sides were 3/4 " strips and they were fine. The press worked great ! All in all it was uneventful.:db:db:r:r
