Just wanted to thank all those who turned out today to pick grapes at Ringer Reef Winery - about 15 people braved the wild thunderstorm and we managed to pick about 140 buckets before calling it a wet weather day!
It was lovely chatting amongst the vines and the beautiful merlot grapes donated by Ringer Reef were in abundance.
Eleana Anderson from Mayford wines next door was cranking up the grape crush to get the wine started as we left, she already has last weeks pick fermenting! It's all very exciting - we expect the wine to be bottled in September and available for purchase in November 2010. If you would like to pre order Meg's Black Pearl rose please email me casleyke@bigpond.com - the wine will sell for $15 per bottle or $170 per dozen.
Another picking morning has been called to pick the last 70 or so buckets required on wednrsday 3rd march 2010 at 9am at Ringer Reef Winery Porepunkah any available volunteers would be welcome.
Keep an eye out for the local paper this week!
Thanks again fellow pickers.
