Bad wine is a headache!

Some wine is made from a formula.  It's a chemistry project to get the numbers just right.  Then, you get the "Budweiser" of wine...the same every year....boring!!

 The authentic wine experience is from smaller wineries that don't have to meet budget goals, but rather simply translate the bounty of the vineyard into a work of the vintners skill.

Thankfully here in the Dry Cree\k Valley AVA, many of our wineries are getting it right.  As the saying goes: Good wine is made from Good Grapes.  The job of the winemaker is not to screw it up.  Mother Nature gives us different grapes every year.  The premium winieries don't try to appolgize for this by masking flaws with chemicals.

The time to make adjustments is in the vineyard.  If you are successful farmer then you can make great wine.
