Friday was a good day! The morning after crushing Mourvedre until midnight, the cellar rats were all wondering how they were gonna get through the day and night...especially since we had helped the good folks at the Heineken corporation with our fair share of depletions this week...in short, our cupboards were bare. But much to our surprise, the beer fairy had come in the middle of the night and left us a hefty load in the "Beer Fund" cup.
Now, we certainly don't condone alcohol consumption while driving a forklift or operating a de-stemmer/crusher, but we have been known to hoist a few once the machines are turned off and the ladders are put away for the eve. As they say, "It takes a lot of beer to make wine!". In fact, next year we oughtta have a beer sponsorship option on our website...think of it as taking part in crush without having to get your feet dirty!!
