Description
Summary:Aggarwal talks about the stomping competition in Virginia. In one of I Love Lucy's classic episodes, Lucille Ball's character visits an Italian vineyard for some barefoot grape stomping--only to get into a fruit-flinging altercation with an angry local. For the past 11 years, that hilariously sloppy scene has been recreated each fall at Three Fox Vineyards in Delaplane VA. Owners Holli and John Todhunter have turned the stomp into a contest, in which teams have two minutes to produce as much juice as possible, using only (ugh) their bare feet.
