Still here!


I have been waiting on some photos off a mate who also did vintage at Tahbilk but he is being lazy and hasn’t had a chance to send them so I might have to post them later. 
The last few weeks of work slowed down a bit and we went from 12 hour days to 10 hour days, which doesn’t sound like much but boy does it make a difference!
More time for drinking… 

which always leads to someone passing out in the boat?!
  and funny moustaches

 I have to say, although the work was so new for me I really enjoyed myself and was very lucky to able to work at such an amazing winery.

Here are a few snaps I took in the last week of work…. 
Guilia got the chance to make her own wine… although just a small amount, she was very happy
 
-->and when it came time to pressing it out Laura and I were happy to lend a hand

After a few days of begging Steven (our superviser) to let me dig, I finally got involved and a group of us dug out four vats of grapes... two woods and two in ground concrete ones. By the end of the day I was absolutely exhausted, but went home with a nice helping of wine 

otherwise, there was lots of cleaning to do!If the pump doesn’t work… get in there yourself! 
(I’m sure my butt doesn’t normally look that big?!) 
 and plenty of antics to finish up a hectic 10 weeks... 
all in all.... certainly an experience!
