Thu, 03 Jun 2010 11:53:29 -0800

Use untoasted oak granulates in must for fermentation.
Oak tannins bind with fruit tannin, forming longer chains and eliminating vegetal characteristics in red wines.

Purposeful Re- Industrialization of America.

Mon, 24 May 2010 09:16:00 -0800

Economic and Environmental Sustainability Practices of the Wine Industry.

This is food for thought on how the wine American wine industry can help the U.S. economy by being careful when they buy inputs to production.

We all know what the state of our nation is. Blame whoever or whatever you like. But we now have the ability to drive with the rear view mirror for a minute, so humor me on this. Would it have done anything to help our economy if every winery and vineyard in the United States established a directive to their purchasing department (read: “promise yourself that you will try” ) to add American workers to their requirements for new equipment or supplies? You bet it would. And how many of your visitors would go back to work on Monday with a keener interest in buying American and being more conscious of their environmental impact if you stressed the fact that your wine was made with American fruit on American Equipment with a focus on helping the planet at the same time? Would your wine, which costs a little more than that imported factory wine, have more value than just the quality in the bottle when you could tell this story with it?
.

Do you think that part of the story of your wine should be about commitment to our natural and economic resources? How can that not help you to sell wine? How many families in America could we support if the entire industry got on board with this? What if the trend spread to other sectors in the economy? Would we not simply end up with a stronger industry on the whole?

Some places to start:

Where are your labels printed? Was the paper recycled?

Do the cork trees live? Well yes. And are they printed, treated, packaged in the U.S.? Is YOUR cork company recycling corks?

Can you find the name of your must/ do all pump on a map of the U.S.?

Who coopered your barrels?

Was your basket press built in America? Really?

Where are your bottles made? What percentage of the glass was recycled?

Where are your tanks made?

Are you using solar or wind energy at the winery?

Do people sit on American made furniture in the tasting room?

What have you done this year to reduce/ reuse/ recycle?

Is it really about price? If the whole country is unemployed enough to drop your sales by 10%, did using imported equipment really save you money?

That’s all for now. Just please remember to ask your salesperson where it was made and require the companies who supply you to explain the origin of everything you buy.

Midwest Grape and Wine Conference- A rose by any other name.............

Wed, 05 May 2010 05:45:37 -0800

Here is some exciting, but not brand new news:
Vineyard & Winery Management announced back around the beginning of February that they will be managing the Midwest Grape and Wine Conference from now on. This is a good thing.

This conference has been referred to as "The Missouri Show" because of it's location; The Tan-Tar-A resort. Well, Katie better bar the door for this one: This conference, like all others is driven by the the list of speakers, topics, and exhibitors. This show, from now on will draw top talent in speakers and only the best in suppliers as it will from this day forward be seen by all as the Central region meeting for the American wine industry.

This is not to say that I am not ecstatic to see my "peeps" at this show. I am always glad to see the folks from "Mizzurah", because they are all like family and all have made me feel welcome in this fair state both as an entrepreneur and as the spouse of a lady with a great family name in the wine industry and Missouri politics. My family appreciate the local support of the show as exhibitors and friends.

I hope that Viticulturists and Vintners from Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, Illinois, and maybe Ohio and Kansas (and do I dare say Texas? Michigan?) can get together with us in St. Charles, MO and make this our show.

This show will be alot more fun for families and spouses, as there is much more going on in late Winter in St. Charles than there was at Tan-Tar-A.

We are reserving space today. I look forward to seeing everyone in St. Charles

New York Wine in grocery stores?

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 07:08:41 -0800

Keep wine out of grocery stores
Proposal will reduce selection and hurt smaller wineries
By Duncan Ross
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS February 14, 2010

.."While on the surface it appears that wine in grocery stores would be beneficial to consumers and wineries, this is not the case. Selection of wine would be reduced and sales for smaller wineries will suffer, meaning the smaller wineries will not be able to grow into larger wineries."
