The End of the Brotherhood Winery Collection

author: jack : Washingtonville, NY

the winery was once used as a fallout shelter. many people became alcholics from running in there so many times to excape the atomic bomb and wound up getting bombed anyway. my fallout shelter was in my Catholic Parochial school from whence came my article about the meatball caper. a boy onced asked a nun what would happen if a bomb was dropped on us and i replied, "put your head all the way between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye" i don't know where i had heard that but the nun didn't think it was funny...

this is the original winery as it is today. next photos are underneath this building where there is a small museum. the cut out at the top is where they pulled out the wine barrels back in the 1800's. once the wine was in the building they would then bottle it and label it and then off to the distributors. it was pretty cold in there.
