Better than wine! (Updated)

Grapes are picked and destemmed.

The press is ready to take its maiden voyage.
A press made by Cider Bob from Elmira, Oregon
 Grapes go into the press box.
 And the first grape juice comes out!
 It's so pretty.

Tastes so good.

Can't wait to press some apples.
What a great birthday present!

Update:
This is Cider Bob, who is over 80, and his son Dan.
A family operation, they make about ten presses a month.
Signed and numbered, 
 working pieces of art.
We picked the press up at the shop in Elmira, OR.
Both Bob and Dan were there, 
plus a granddaughter who was busy doing some finish work.
Lots of pride in the history of their company
and the high quality of their work.
