CORROSIVE LIQUIDS EFFICIENTLY,

as a special elevator like those seen at Palmaz Vineyards or Vineyard 29.
Backen designed the Paul Hobbs Winery with an overhead trolley for transporting grapes. Perhaps the ultimate scheme for gravity flow is the carousel that rotates tanks under the destemmer at Palmaz' astonishing underground winery. Another old (and surprising) trend being touted for making better wine is the increasing use of concrete for fermentation tanks, notably egg-shaped tanks that are supposed to induce convection currents and maintain constant temperatures. At Ovid, they've even constructed poured-in-place concrete
tanks, miniature versions of the ones used—and largely abandoned—in the past. The Ovid tanks contain cooling coils and have dimensions of two to one in height to width. They can hold 850 to 1,700 gallons. The winery also uses upright wood vats.
RIGHTPUMPFOR THEJOB.
YOUNEEDTHE Gorman-Rupp Super U Series™ pumps are among
the most efficient self-priming centrifugal pumps available. Their unique volute casing design minimizes friction loss and drag. Multi-vane, open impeller is designed for high efficiency, yet can still handle solids up to 1-1/4" in diameter.
These pumps not only deliver high efficiencies (up to 75%), they also perform efficiently across a broad operating range. Excellent for transfer appli- cations where skins, seeds and stems are a problem.
The external shimless adjustment makes it easy to keep the pump in peak operating condition.
Pumps are available in 3", 4" and 6" discharge sizes, capacities to 1500 gpm, heads to 207 feet.

Warehouse wineries While many wineries seek to attract visitors with fancy designs and amenities, others turn to locations in cities. Northwest ar- chitect Joe Chauncey notes that one of the trends in Washington is the warehouse winery, especially in the western side of the state. "These are popping up in industrial parks near population centers and offer the benefit to tasters of as many as 20 wineries within walking distance from each other."
