Hiring a full-time person for these critical legal requirements might not be feasible for smaller producers. That's where we come in – let us handle the paperwork so you can focus on crafting exceptional wines! 🍇📑 #WineConsultants #HarvestSeason #PaperworkRelief #WineHarvest #WineIndustry #WineBusiness #WineMaking #SmallProducers #LegalRequirements #WinePaperwork

Along the way there have been winemaking mistakes. Early on I was working with a vineyard block of #dolcetto that regularly had stuck fermentations. One year I had the terrible idea to go ahead and make a slightly-sweet red. While I was smart enough to sterile filter before bottling, it sat in tank longer than expected due to logistics. Not surprisingly, since the tank was outside and did not have good temperature control, it destabilized, and the final filter plugged during bottling. Despite being as careful as possible emergency equipment maneuvers in the middle of bottling, everything after that point fermented in bottle. What to do? Well, I disgorged about 200 cases in a day, refermented it dry and clean in tank, then sold it as clean and stable bulk wine, which at least covered the costs of time and packaging. The purchasing winery then retailed it at $50 (!!) and it got great reviews. 🤪 I learned more from this particular adventure than almost any other bottling, from consumer perception to technical winemaking to the bulk biz and vineyard microbial loads. I also haven’t had to filter a wine in 10 years… #alwayslearning
