Gauge Conditions
Arguably most difficult at 4-5'. Above 5', things begin to wash out, though there are some BIG holes and waves.
Description
Usually approached from the right. There is a rock in the center just above the main drop that can be passed either right or left. If the center rock is passed on the right, punch a small hole and move right to left - take the main drop (or boof the right side of the big rock on the left). If the center rock is passed on the left, the move is a fast left to right or even a ferry move to pass between the center rock and the left rock at the drop - take the drop and eddy right. The rapid can also be run well to the left of the boof rock. The name "Bottle of Wine" comes from the early days of rafting when guides found a bottle of wine in the eddy below the boof rock.
