Like robins returning in Spring and geese flying overhead in long, trailing V’s in Autumn, there are signals that nature sends us that the seasons are changing. At the winery it is the appearance of the illusive, white Bravo truck. When it glides up the hill, we know it is bottling time. And, soon after, with our tanks and barrels emptied again and ready for more wine, it is time for another harvest. Our webcam is up and running. Please feel free to click on the photo below and watch us as we put the absolutely amazing 2008 Cuvee A and Willamette Valley Pinot noirs into bottle. And, keep and eye on the cellar webcam, because the Bravo truck will soon depart, and the cellar will be scrubbed stem to stern, followed by the first pick of the 2009 season. It’s what we live for here in the cellar all year long! Bring on autumn! Let the grapes appear at our threshold! It wouldn’t be harvest without bottling!

I had it up earlier and it appeared to be working OK then. The video is only displayed in Internet Explorer at this time and you have allow pop-ups. Safari, Firefox, Opera browsers are not supported, which means I can't watch from home as I have a mac. We are working on a better system for harvest, but for the time being, this is what we have. I hope you get your viewer working and I'll look again at the image in the morning just to make sure it's operational. By the way, the screen is black right now as the lights are out in the production area.

It is my dream to expand my home winery into a full-fledged winery like you have here! I'm lucky if I get 50 bottles created in a year lol.

You're linking to the local (LAN) address of your webcam that can be viewed from WITHIN your local network.
In order to allow "outsiders" to view that webcam, you need to link to your external IP address (provided by your ISP) and open up the appropriate port (which appears to be 10209) on your router.
It's a lot to explain in comment, but I just thought I'd let you know what your problem is so you can fix it.

I saw the botteling truck for the first time at Alpha Omega in Napa this harvest....pretty amazing stuff compared to the very small wineries that are still doing everything by hand(including blow dryers in some cases!)
