We've been waiting for our winery equipment for more than a month as strikes stranded the equipment in Italy. We destemmed and crushed by hand, but at least now we can practice perhaps on the apples.
It was a big pile of stuff, shrink-wrapped in a topsy tower on a pallet. Our very nice delivery man helped Alex load it all into the trailer and we drove it with the RTV up to the shed.
There was a good deal of unwrapping and some assembly required. But we managed to put together the destemmer/crusher, We unpacked the bottle washer and dryers, the corker is really cool, and the bottle filler will take some work. There's a pump and hose for moving wine from one vat to another. (I think that may have been a wishful thinking buy!) The room is full. We need another table in there for the equipment that has to sit on top, but for now, we are ready for the rest of the season.
