From Vineyard to Bottle

Experienced oversight from vineyard planning and harvest through winemaking, aging, packaging, and finished wine.

Vineyard Planning & Harvest

Wine quality and production planning begin in the vineyard. I work with owners and winery teams to evaluate vineyard needs, plan for harvest, source fruit, and align farming decisions with production and wine style goals.

  • Vineyard assessments

  • Vineyard development & redevelopment

  • Harvest planning

  • Grape sourcing

  • Production forecasting

Winemaking & Cellar

Hands-on production oversight can extend from fruit reception through fermentation, blending, barrel aging, and preparation for bottling. Support can supplement an existing winery team or provide experienced oversight within a custom crush environment.

  • Wine quality & cellar systems

  • Production planning

Aging & Production Management

As wines move through élevage, good production management keeps quality, inventory, timing, and costs aligned. I help wineries maintain visibility across lots while preparing wines and production schedules for the next stage.

  • Barrel selection & cellar management

  • Inventory management

  • Wine tracking

  • Quality control

  • Production scheduling

  • Bottling preparation

Bottling & Finished Wine

Bottling brings together months—or years—of production decisions. I help coordinate the technical, packaging, compliance, and logistical details required to move wine efficiently from cellar to finished inventory.

  • Bottling coordination

  • Packaging

  • Label development

  • Compliance

  • Production logistics

  • Finished wine readiness

Planning Beyond the Current Vintage

Good winery operations don't end when the wine is bottled. I help owners and production teams apply what was learned during the current vintage to improve planning, resource allocation, production decisions, and vineyard strategy for the years ahead.

  • Long-term vineyard & production planning

  • Production forecasting

  • Continuous improvement

  • Future vintage planning
