it beats the hell out of sitting at home noodling on my craptop

I spent the day today at Hallcrest again, helping them bottle a couple of cabernet sauvignons and a pinot noir.  The bottler is a little fussy and we had a few hiccups, but we got through them and didn't break a single bottle.  Also, i am helping translate for one of the employees, whose English is poor.  My experience is growing in leaps and bounds!

Cool.

Now, if you could find a winery which needs a sysadmin...

Do you know if any of Hallcrest's wines are distributed on the East Coast?

He said that their organic label, Organic Wine Works, can be found in Philly.

Thank you! I have to do some grocery shopping tomorrow, so I'll use the supermarket across the street from the state store where they're more likely to have that kind of thing.

OK, so I found a selection of about 5 types, and I picked up the "Zenful Zin" because it was $7 cheaper than the zinfandel with the more traditional-looking label. Before I even try it, which of the other varieties should I get?

I don't know, i haven't tasted any of the organic wines :) although i do know they were pouring the merlot recently in the tasting room.

I first read that as "Hellcrest".
