The 2007 Grape Delivery

Our wine grape delivery and distribution occurred on time SATURDAY OCTOBER 6TH, 2007, on the grounds of Villa Rosa in Mitchellville, MD.
With the help of many of the members of the Washington Winemakers, we were able to unload and distribute a great quantity of grapes, efficiently, and quickly, enabling all to rush back home and start making the 2007 wine.
Our Washington area winemakers' association is really growing, and in fact, we now have more than 70 families and single members among the Washington Winemakers who made this group purchase possible.
We are extremely grateful to Father Lydio Tomasi, the head (il Capo) of Villa Rosa, the Scalabrinian Mission in Mitchellville, Maryland that allowed us to stage our grape and juice delivery under their pavilion. Very, Very Special thanks to Nicola Ferrante and Vince Ionata for their coordination and pitching in to make sure the grapes and juice were delivered into our hands.

Here are a few images taken during delivery.
