My Winemaking Apprenticeship!

Eventually I will have to start doing the things I love for money... but until then, I do them for free.

Last week I met with David Lecomte of City Winery and he agreed to let me come in as a volunteer in his wine making team. Lecomte is not only knowledgable and passionate about wine, terroir, and the various regions, but his experience with vitaculture across the globe makes him the ideal mentor.

I'm psyched! I start this Wednesday with labeling; Sunday, 3/14, I'll be helping out with bottling (from 9am to 7pm); they'll be doing a crush in the spring... Oh boy, this is the life!!!

Pictures and stories to come!
