Saturday July 10 was the Alcantara Vineyards Chard Festival and bottling event. Not only did we get chardonnay bottled, but there was also time to bottle ESTATE Sauvignon Blanc too. That's because there was so much help from a lot of family and friends during the day. My friend Tom spent the entire day working in the wine barn, becoming an expert foil operator and supervisor of kids who wanted to help. Actually several kids performed the foiling and corking better than adults. They have the finesse and gentleness required for perfect and precision results. Alcantara is a boutique winery, so all the work is done by hand, the 'assembly line' above.
