Most interesting thing you’ve shot

I shoot a lot of wine (product) which means I get to see the behind the scenes of the winemaking
process which has always been a huge interest of mine. I have learned a ton about the processes and
phenology through my exposure to those in the industry and it is incredible (to me!) how many different
factors play a major role throughout the process and how each wine maker approaches these factors
and obstacles differently.
