The Wine Making Process

Before this past weekend, I visited vineyards twice: once as a child and once on an awesome assignment for Boston.com. Needless to say I never really got to experience tastings to the fullest. That all changed in the Hamptons, where I drank my weight in wine. But it's not just the booze that's great -- it's the entire atmosphere. Wine making is an art and I loved seeing all the behind the scenes action.
