"The gap between knowing what you want and going after it is where fear thrives. You don’t need enough courage for the entire journey. You only need courage for the next step."

I’m about to buy a parcel of land in Washington State after listening to the Juan Muñoz Oca (@munozoca) episode of @winepodcast 😅

These are the first grapes to be harvested from our Canoe Ridge Estate Vineyard. Can you guess what they are? #Harvest2021
As a #leader in these times, building resilience is key. Vulnerability is key here. Don't shy away from sharing any negatives with your team. They're just as important to talk about as the positives. A realist approach strengthens teams for the better. hbr.org/2021/08/leaders-dont…
Smoke taint has become an enduring problem for many #winemakers. However, some Oregon producers chose to lean into this issue and created a novel solution: more rosé instead of red wine. Of course, it's more complex than this, but this is the main idea. vinepair.com/articles/oregon…
It's harvest season at @SteMichelle, and we've been lucky that the recent drought has had a “relatively minimal impact” on our vineyards. Here's to a great harvest! #Winemaking winebusiness.com/news/?go=ge…
Here, @champagnenresy does an incredible job exploring the #wine landscape in the US, detailing what exactly has made certain areas and selections cult wine phenomenons. It's not unusual for these wines to even have a waitlist. Fascinating topic! winemag.com/2021/08/19/cult-…
It's important to prioritize employee engagement during these times. Fostering meaningful connections between team members and their work can make a real difference! @lindsey_caplan #Leadership fastcompany.com/90666338/lea…
Yes, the kinds of glasses you'll find these wines served in are quite intentional. Great fun fact from @SteMichelle. xitter.cf/SteMichelle/status/142…
Wine glasses can make a difference in the perception of aromas and flavors in wine. Generally, a smaller wine glass will work for white wines and larger glass will allow the red wines to shine. #WAWine
.@MarcelSchwantes is right: self-awareness is extremely important to have as a leader. This skill not only helps you tune into what your team needs from you, but also what you might need from yourself in order to succeed! #Leadership inc.com/marcel-schwantes/if-…
Great discussion with @lagaragista about hybrid grapes and their place in the future of the #wine industry. The La Garagista farm is a pioneer of this innovative practice -- I'm excited to see how it grows and evolves over time. finance.yahoo.com/video/la-g…
.@VIK_wine is at the forefront of "holism," a winemaking style "that combines natural, biodynamic, and organic practices." Holism will likely become a more important and common practice as climate change continues to take effect. @chasityscooper vinepair.com/articles/vik-wi…
Many wineries, particularly in Oregon, have begun incorporating #winemaking into a more holistic farm-oriented lifestyle. This approach tends to cultivate a "scientific approach to biodynamic practices" in winemaking, which is definitely exciting to see! winemag.com/2021/07/21/orego…
Work-life balance during a remote setup does become a little more challenging. You've got to set some clear boundaries, and discipline yourself to log off when the clock chimes 5pm. Great advice! #Productivity forbes.com/sites/theyec/2021…
