THE RITE OF INTERNS
Each year, people come here to make wine

it’s not glamorous at all
great winemaking demands preparation
and planning is vital
fourteen interns this year
seeking to learn how fine wine is made
sweating the details of every vineyard and every pick
one barrel at a time
working 14 hour days
every day for manic weeks
to put their mark on a vintage that happens only once
and come through the other side of it
on to further journeys to make wine again
or coming back to stay
as was our rite too.
