| Pick       | A pick occurs within a vineyard on a given day. It has a planned quantity that will then be collected and moved to the winery site via one or multiple loads | A Pick can have one or many loads                                                                                                   |
| Load       | A load is a subset of a pick, of a certain number of tons. A load can have a crew and bins associated with it.                                               | A Load handles a portion of the quantity on a pick                                                                                  |

| Crush Site | The crush site is the location where grapes will be crushed to begin the winemaking process.                                                                 | Crush sites are locations within VinoEZ                                                                                             |
