VASCM: Harvest equipment

[Greg Joseph]

I am new to this group and a novice at wine making. My 120 vine Chardonnay
vineyard is in its 6th season and just starting veraison. I’m going to have
enough fruit to make some wine this year. I have had zero experience in the
whole process, so everything is new to me and I learn something each season
(birds, fungus, mold etc.). This will be my first harvestable crop and I’m
guessing (emphasis on guess) I will have about 200 lbs. of fruit. I have
stainless vessels for fermentation, but I need to rent or borrow a
crusher/de-stemmer and a small bladder press. If my efforts result in
drinkable wine, I’ll pursue buying the equipment from a winemaker who has
outgrown the smaller gear.
