from grapes to wine...
Damien spent five days with Fred
Scherrer during the 2006 harvest.
The chance to harvest, crush, taste,
blend, and generally be exposed to
everything going on at the winery
made for a happy business trip.
These pictures tell the story of
picking, pressing and fermenting
Scherrer Winery's 2006 Helfer
Vineyard Chardonnay.
Many thanks to Don and Patricia
Helfer who graciously allowed an
eager if unskilled wine lover to be a
part of the process.
