Dirty Jobs, Winery

Dirty Jobs on Discovery is a family favorite in our household. On occasion my 5-year old will opt out of Sesame Street and ask for Mike Rowe by name! If you tune into Discovery, they frequently run Dirty Job marathons, including a visit to a winery.

While I didn't find the job particularly dirty, the episode was both entertaining and educational. If you have a DVR it's worth seeking it out, it provides a brief glimpse into the inner-workings of a large vineyard. The most interesting part for me was seeing the grape-less stems by the thousands sent via conveyor belt to over sized dumpsters. The stems were mulched and used as fertilizer in the vineyard, now THAT's going GREEN.

Cheers!
