CELLARVATE
The Tel Kabri found in Israel, was the worlds’ oldest known wine cellars, dating back to 1700 BCE. These wine cellars were approximately four and a half by seven meters and were able to hold about forty large ceramic jars, equivalent to about 3000 bottles of wine. Constructed predominately from stone, early wine cellars were underground sheltered from external influences and providing a dark, constant temperature and humidity environment which is wines best friend and preserves the complexities of its aging process. With 10,000 varieties of wine grapes existing worldwide, France, Spain and Italy are the most significant produces of wine, with 1 Ton of grapes yielding approximately 720 bottles, hence the need to introduce integrated cellars into the home to house the plethora and spoils of choice. The ancient cellars are a far cry from the modern era climate controlled conditions of Hester Canterbury’s own wine cellar, a fortress of hidden labels and timelessly maturing grapes, awaiting that one special Friday Night Happy Hour occasion.
HESTER CANTERBURY LIBRARY ‘Gateway to great stories’
To coincide with the recent visit by guest speaker and author Kerry Tucker, I purchased her book ‘The Prisoner’ and placed it in the Hester Canterbury Library for all to enjoy. It is presently touring the village more frequently than an Elton John Australian tour, and we ask that once you have finished reading it, please place it back in the Library for the next eager book worm to enjoy. Thank you.
