Securing a barrel at Cresta Blanca Winery in the late 1940s or
early 50s.
The barrel being secured has a carving on the front. Above his left elbow
it reads "Cresta Blanca 1882".
When Wente took over the Cresta Blanca facility, most of the wine barrels had
dried out and were not salvageable. They took one of the barrels apart and
made a table top of the carved tank end. It is at the Visitor's Center.
It is likely that this is the barrel.
Box at left reads:
