Buena Vista Vineyard c1870 photo - picture in Sonoma, Sonoma County, California
Buena Vista Vineyard, circa 1870s, photo by Eadweard Muybridge. Champagne Corking - vintage photo shows a shed where various processes of disgorging, perfecting the fill and recorking were carried on. The man inspecting the labeled bottle is B. E. Auger for many years an officer and trustee of the Buena Vista Vinicultural Society. Wicker baskets shown were woven by Chinese employees of the vineyard society; the finished champagne was packed in them for the market. The box near the disgorging apparatus bears the words, 'National Grape' the name of one of Buena Vista's champagnes. The building at the rear of the shed is the brandy distillery operated in conjunction with the winery. (Photo from the U.S. National Archives.) |
