F4F - AJ Wiechmann Trucker and Pilot - after we try some wine!

Others, yeah, we're a multi-generational family. Just like many of the farming operations, the grape growing operation, wine operations in Sonoma County, I think over 70% of our vineyards out here and operations are multi-generational family businesses. So very down, roots run deep around here in terms of, in more ways than one, through the vines and through our businesses out here.

As of now, yes, no. Yeah, no, we're just growing wine grapes right now. In the past, our family had to own pears, apples, fruits, and cherries, but over the decades and stuff, this is about what's left that is profitable. So farming is about profit. This is about profitability, and unfortunately, we're left here in Sonoma County with just one crop left. There are some apples.

Yeah, every year. It's a new chapter. It's a new journey. That's amazing in my wine life. It's the best alcoholic product to drink. I'm not biased at all. Don't worry. I'm not biased. But every vintage is different. It's not like there's no recipe wine. There's no recipe. It's like other beverages. They all taste the same. Some, they're different. Some are different for their own reasons.

And just so they can, you know, consumers can understand our interpretation of our grapes through our wine. And we have other winemakers do their own iterations. And winemaking is art. And we like to say grape growing is art as well. So grape growers play just as big a role in the final product. And we like to educate consumers that, guess what? Guess where wine starts? It starts in the vineyard.
