VASCM: My first Chardonnay vintage

[Greg Joseph]

I pressed my first vintage of Chard. I bought a hand crank crusher that
worked fine for the amount of fruit I was processing (175 Lbs). I'm new at
this, so I was expecting the crusher to remove all the berries from the
stems in the crushing. I was sadly mistaken and we had to hand destem every
bit...it took forever.
Does anyone have a line on a small crusher/destemmer? I'm guessing my 120
vines will produce around 500-600 Lbs when they mature, so I won't have a
lot to run through.
