September Recap!

Wow--September has been an exceptionally busy month for us.  From making wine to stomping grapes to serving a record number of tastings, we're all pretty excited about how the month went!  It seems as if everyone loves wine as much as us!

Lobster Boil

This was a sold out event and everyone that came had a great time, including us!  It was an awesome kick off to our 2nd annual Grape Stomp Festival.  Each guest had a full lobster and following that, the chefs dumped out pots of crayfish, sausage, corn, clams, shrimp and potatoes.  A true New England experience!

Grape Stomp

The next few days were a crazy blur of grape stomping!  It started with our celebrity grape stomp on Friday night and continued into team stomping on Saturday.  There were some awesome costumes!

The grapes are ready to be smashed!

Post Bulletin editor Jay Furst stomped with his wife!

Betsy Singer took on Team Post Bulletin.

Tom Overlie, dressed as a newsman, was a stomping machine.

Jennifer Koski, from Rochester Magazine, stomped with us for a second time.  Read about her experience here.  She also took all of these photos!

Betsy Singer (KAAL) and Tom Overlie (KTTC), former co-anchors, went head to head!

Defending champs, Dunken & Samm, from the KROC morning show, were the team to beat.

In the end, it was almost too close to call.

So we brought in the big guns--Betsy.  Tom Overlie was the winner!  He donated the Four Daughters' annual grape stomp charity check to Paws & Claws this year!

On Saturday, we welcomed our team grape stompers.  Check out the video below to see how that went!

And now, we wait patiently as the 2013 vintage ferments and turns into wine!  Big month around here!
