Tasting in the Cellar.
During the tour of the caves, we were treated to a barrel tasting of some of the
Chalone wines yet to be released. After our first tasting, the guide asked if anyone
wanted "seconds". The lady shown above reaching for a refill said, "Hell, I probably
won't be alive when this stuff is bottled and released. So go ahead and fill 'er up
again!"
