Sounds of the Sorting Table


As you now know, sorting the grapes before they go into the crusher/de-stemmer and/or the press is an important part of the winemaking process at Wiemer.  You can imagine that we have bonded over this process. Following is a little sampling of the sounds of the sorting table:

- Oskar breaking into random song
- Peter humming tunes he makes up in his head
- Alex practicing his V's
- Political debate followed by Maressa shouting "No politics at the sorting table!"
- Cries of "Wait! I heard a rock!"
- Random trivia on world geography
- Bets made over baseball scores, number of boxes of grapes picked, whether Tim and Sandy will bring us donuts, timing of the arrival of grapes from our 3 vineyard sites, and timing for Fred to say, "I think we're in good shape here," which means we can go home to bed :)

Cheers to the Sorters!
