Pre-First Crush Winery… Last standing at the end of a long crush day, 2010.
As many of you have seen, First Crush Winery has expanded to include a contiguous third unit at Olde Depot Industrial. As I write this, it is receiving a cooling system to refrigerate half of the new space. I have constructed an insulated partition and a 6″ thick garage door to separate this cooler space from the front space. The front of the unit will store our larger equipment… the fork lift, firstcrusher-1, firstcrusher-2, Presszilla, many pallets of empty bottles and our new First Crush 1949 Mercury 1-ton pickup. The truck will not be used for dump runs, hauling grape stems or fermented grape skins. I am learning you can even have a first crush on a truck. That last sentence is calling for fictional authorship privilege, but I will leave it right there. Currently, carved signage is being made to show off our brand at special Cape events.
Let's hope that comment is not an April fool's remorse. Old man winter, please spare us a spring surprise. It has been a while since my last post.
