What do the winemaking and cellar staff do on those days when there are no grapes coming in to crush?
The better question is-what don’t they do since there are always tasks aplenty in the cellar of a w
inery. Today I jumped in and tried to lend a hand in the Michel-Schlumerger cellar. Really I 
was mostly holding things, pressing on things, filling things and watching others do them much better than I could. A picture is worth a thousand words — but everyone should try to volunteer at a harvest somewhere. The hand’s on experience is irreplaceable. And it gives one such appreciation for the artistry of this magical industry.
Cool stuff. Thanks guys for letting me hang out for the day!
