Caption[1]  = "A splendid view of the hills surrounding Mankas Hills Vineyards.<br/><br/>Much of Suisun Valley is covered in scenic meadows, hills, and vineyards and is especially beautiful when it basks in the early morning light.";
Caption[2]  = "Our vineyard seen from the air. <br/><br/>Here you can see the coverage of the vines. Notice the hill in the middle of the vineyard. We call it Joe's hill.";
Caption[3]  = "A beautiful towering eucalyptus on top of Joe's hill.<br/><br/>A park land around an old house in the vineyard has many old oak, and fruit trees which provide lots of cool shade to rest after work.";
Caption[4]  = "One of the best places in the vineyard is our little pond which is often inhabited by Canadian Geese such as these.";
Caption[5]  = "These are the trellises to the north-west of the vineyard during winter.<br/><br/>Winter is the time when we prune the vines in order to acheive what is called vine balance. This gives us the optimal fruit production and best flavor from the grapes.";
Caption[6]  = "A nice South East view of the vineyard after the winter flood.<br/><br/>Even during the flooding in 2006, because of the vineyard being on a gentle slope and the soil draining extremely well, our grape production was not impacted at all.";
Caption[7]  = "Trellises with cut canes during pruning.<br/><br/>This is what the vines look like after we've pruned them. Generally we leave somewhere between 11 to 17 canes per vine to acheive vine balance.";
Caption[8]  = "Mustard flowers and pruned vines.<br/><br/>During the winter the rows of vines are lined with blooming mustard flowers which provide a beatiful contrast against the bare branches."; 
Caption[9]  = "Trellises before suckering and shoot thinning.<br/><br/>A very important step in the maintenance of our vineyard is the shoot thinning. If we left the vines as they are they would suffer in trying to grow all their foliage.";
Caption[10]  = "Trellises after suckering and shoot thinning.<br/><br/>After shoot thinning we leave 3-4 inches between each shoot so as to create an ideal environment for the grape clusters to grow.";
Caption[11]  = "Blossoming Cabernet Sauvignon clusters.<br/><br/>Our reward for the work done on pruning, and thinning pays off as we start seeing beautiful grape clusters such as these start to bloom.";
Caption[12]  = "Canopy with un-thinned fruit clusters.<br/><br/>Once the clusters start ripening they must be thinned so as to strengthen the clusters that are left on the vine and produce better grapes.";
Caption[13]  = "Ripening clusters after fruit thinning.<br/><br/>Once the fruit is thinned the vines still have a good quantity of clusters and are ready to be picked when ripe.";
Caption[14]  = "Joe inspecting the vineyard at dawn.<br/><br/>Joe often starts his work on the vineyard before dawn and comes back home after sunset. All hardwork which pays off with some great Cabernet Sauvignon wines.";
Caption[15]  = "Picking grapes in the early morning.<br/><br/>There's a lot of work during the harvest and work starts very early in the morning to try to get as many grapes picked when they are still cool.";
Caption[16]  = "Bins of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.<br/><br/>Large quantities of grapes are picked every day during the harvest and stored in these large bins ready to be crushed.";
Caption[17]  = "Dropping the grapes into the crusher.<br/><br/>The grapes are taken to the crush site in large bins and are then dropped into the crusher which de-stems them and then crushes them.";
Caption[18]  = "Terry, Joe's daughter, helping out with bottling.<br/><br/>Generally the bottling is done by machine but sometimes we bottle some custom or test blends.";
Caption[19]  = "The 2004 Amelie bottling.<br/><br/>This was all done by machine in the back of a specialized trailer. The empty bottles were fed in and out came a complete bottle of Amelie.";
Caption[20]  = "The end product of our efforts.<br/><br/>The bottles are packed into cases of 12 and then stored on pallets which can then be easily transported, wharehoused and shipped to the distributors.";
Caption[21]  = "Joe and Jef at Dean and Deluca's.<br/><br/>We're always looking for opinions or suggestions of where else we could make our wine available.";
Caption[22]  = "Mario at the Long Beach Grand Gru evening wine tasting.<br/><br/>When we won the Gold Medal for our 2002 Contado we were invited to the Queen Mary in Long Beach to pour our wines.";
