          yes , i have put the wife and mine name down on his list of barking idiots for next year, i have never taken part in a grape harvest . have seen many in france but never taken part so we going down for the weekend and after spending the day harvesting and a very very detailed look around the winery, we are then going to get paid in grapes so it sounds like a fantastic weekend away for us
          Wine from grapes is alright, but nothing beats the proper stuff to make wine with.

            It ended up being a little bit of a farce in the end, and not many grapes came out of it....will steer clear next year.....we are having grpaefest a little later next year so we can have access to Quality white grapes from Italy
