Crush - an article by Brendan Eliason (assistant winemaker at the David Coffaro Winery) that explains in plain English what it takes (mechanically speaking) to put out a good bottle of red wine.

Nice article! Here are some pictures of vines, different winery contraptions and bottling of a small winery in France, from Dean Allen.

Nifty site IronTom! I'll be adding this to my read list.

Thanks Irontom. I have just started daily monitoring of my grapes (about 20%). I love how wine making is about the same process no matter the scale.
