Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
A new to the industry grape grower and wine maker brought her first vintage bottled wines out to the farm for a tasting and evaluation. They were great and she was really proud of all that she has learned and accomplished. Her intial sales have gone well and she is in the process of securing loans for building a tasting room and winery. Although she brought some wines made from grapes and juice grown out of state, the greatest of the wines she brought were the ones made from Kentucky grown grapes from her first vineyard planted in 2016.
