Specializing in global wine industry start-ups, winemaking, and education with senior level management expertise in all phases of winery establishment and design, production and management, producing consistently high quality award winning wines, and university education since 1990. Specializing in fruit and wine related agricultural and value added production development projects in temperate to
subtropical regions, including expansion into developing countries, especially China. General Winemaking Theory: Our market influenced style can readily be assessed by sampling my wines already in market, or by observing the numerous wine awards and reading the wine reviews. Wines are made in the vineyard, where the climate, soils and viticulture determine ultimate potential. Traditional techniques, scientific understanding and prevailing technology combine to make the best wines. We prefer a data-driven evidence based approach and methodology for winemaking and business sustainability that relies on the sum of my experience and peer reviewed evidence from research labs and the marketplace.
