The destemmer and stand arrived Friday the 10th from St. Pats. We've got it assembled out back and under tarps, and hope to use it out doors on crush day.
Then it was off to Shinn for the weekend (including a vertical Merlot tasting, their first - 2002 - through 2007, plus the reserves). Friday late afternoon we were talking to Barbara Shinn and I pointed to the destemmer on their crushpad and I said that we'd just had a new one delivered earlier in the day. Barbara launched into questions about it and a mini-lecture, the point of which was DON'T CRUSH! Just destem. Be gentle. Wella, wella, music to Lori's ears and all the validation we need.
