Grape Harvest
Central Kentucky and Washington County Residents recently enjoyed the third annual Wine Tasting hosted by the BPW (Business and Professional Women). Washington County wineries and/or wine makers were present to showcase their wines and allow attendees to sample the best of Washington County wines. And, while many enjoyed the wine - few understand the process, time, effort and energy it takes to bring that wine to the finished stages. This gallery is a "day in the life" of Washington County/Willisburg wine makers Eric and Kathy Ringo (Long Lick Vineyard) and Bob and Ann Karsner (Horseshoe Bend Winery). From harvest to wine pressing this is the journey from "Vine to Wine."

My very heartfelt thanks to Eric, Kathy, Bob and Ann for allowing me to follow them around for a day and a half to take these photos and for their patience in explaining the process to me. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

 > Supported only by its own weight, this 4-6 inch thick ring of grape pulp contains almost the entire day's production of grapes and seeds. All that's left to do is recycle it into Eric Ringo's garden. (c) 2005 Photo by Becky Blanton. All rights reserved.
