Italian Heritage Society - Wine Crush

Kevin organized a Wine Making Club for the Italian Heritage Society, he coordinated the location, scheduling the shipment of the grapes and arranging for the wine barrels!


 The location is this Artist Loft in Rocky Ripple



This is the fermentation tank - it holds 275 gallons of liquid in this case it would be WINE!
The grapes will sit in this containter for 8 - 10 days and then the juice will be drained and put into oak barrels where the wine will age for six months.


 



The grapes were just flown in from Napa Valley 




 Crushing the grapes in the Wine Press




  Carrying the grapes to the wine press to be crushed 

 

The grapes after they have gone through the press and landed in the fermentation tank!
