Interns at AVV ...

AVV like most wineries always has a few interns during harvest.  This year we have 3, including Luiz Gustavo Lovato from Brazil.  Each day AVV interns perform a variety of tasks under winemaker Kevin Hall's guidance and learn about AVV's winemaking from the bottom up. 

If you've ever watched Dirty Jobs on TV, then you probably have an idea about their day......

Today, Luiz is punching down the Syrah that we harvested from the vineyard by the Schoolhouse. 

When we ferment in Macrobins we punch down the cap twice a day to keep it moist and to extract color and flavor.
