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!

Is this not one pissed off bird? I can't help it. I watched and followed this bird for almost 15 minutes as he flew under the netting seeking an escape. I was truly curious about whether he would escape without help - but he did. His frustration is so evident that I had to post every shot. (c) 2005 Photo by Becky Blanton. All rights reserved.
