Well, sort of. Today is the first day of the 2014 crush, and we're helping out at DeLille. The first semi-load of Sauvignon Blanc arrived mid-morning, and our job was to sort the grapes before they went into the press. It was fun and sticky and tiring, but we had a great time and met some nice folks. The winery provided lunch and a couple of bottles of wine for each volunteer, welcome additions to the cellar.
We got the hats last winter, when we helped bottle the Chaleur Estate Blanc.

Talk about a moving target... not only were the grapes moving, the big flat table vibrated to help them move along. Not the easiest photograph!
this sounds so fun!
