And here in the winery, as harvest begins in earnest, preparations are underway.
The tractors are checked, the presses stand ready, and the fermenters await their first cargo of grapes. Yet seasoned hands know that the most important machinery of the vintage is not found in the vineyard at all.
Here it is.
The coffee machine.
Before the sun has properly risen above the vines, this dependable device is already hard at work — delivering cup after cup of dark encouragement to the cellar crew. For harvest, as any winemaker will tell you, is a marathon rather than a sprint. Long days, early mornings, and the occasional midnight pump-over demand stamina of the highest order. And while the vines may provide the grapes, it is the coffee that keeps the vintage moving.
Steady, reliable, and seldom given the credit it deserves — the coffee machine —the quiet workhorse of the winery.
