"This picture, taken by [Eadweard] Muybridge, of San Francisco, at Buena Vista Vineyard, Sonoma, California,
in the early 1870's, was captioned `Champagne Corking.' It shows a shed where various processes
of disgorging, perfecting the fill and recorking were carried on.
The man inspecting the labeled bottle is B. E. Auger for many years an officer and trustee of the
Buena Vista Vinicultural Society.
