We're in luck, today is grape harvesting day at the winery.
The beautiful Benevento valley

Aldo and Senor Ocone

It's a glorious day!


The baskets are layed out for todays harvest

Ahhh...the 2007 vintage grapes!


Aldo shows off the gemini or twin bunch of grapes.



Oo...ooo...ooo...I'm getting to help with the harvest!





We're done with our little harvesting adventure...time to get to the tasteing!


A quick tour of the facilities..........


Ooops, you lost me at food and wine....trust me it was wonderful!


A great day had by all....some chose to continue drinking on the bus ride home....most slept....and a few of us simply chatted with new friends.
