VASCM: Harvest equipment

[kevin video4dvd.com]

I would recommend you pay a visit to Rich at Beer and Winemakers in San Jose. I was in the same situation 20 years ago and that is where I went for both equipment and knowledge. But this may be the last year as he plans to sell the business soon.

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.
