🗞🍇We wanted to share the news with you about @vinebase_official Vinebase supports small wineries, just like us! Check out their page on instagram and website for more info on how they are supporting small wineries. “Dotted about the country, tucked away in remote corners, and often without a brick-and-mortar presence, boutique wineries struggle just to let customers know they exist. While production numbers can help us understand a winery's situation more, we think there's more nuance into what qualifies a winery as "small" - a sensibility, a connection between the people making the wine, the place it grows, and the finished product. Wine is an agricultural, artisan product. When we designate a product as artisan-made, or small production, we imply a thread of attention, care, intent, and vision that runs through the process and displays itself in the final product. You can literally taste the care and the attention to detail that goes into a bottle of small production wine. It's something that bulk wine simply can't do in its chemically-altered manufacturing process. It's so important, now more than ever, to shop directly from independent wineries and support small producers. Let's keep these businesses alive - and help them thrive. 🍷 What are your thoughts on what qualifies a winery as "small" production? Tell us what you look for in the wine you buy, then head to vb.wine/drinkbetter to learn more about the many challenges small wineries face.” #DrinkBetter #SupportOurWineries #smallwinery #wine101 #independentwinery #winebusiness #winemaking #wineexperience #winemaker #sonomacountywine #healdsburgca #winery #winemakerlife #winetime #winecellars #alexandervalley #alexandervalleywinery #winecountry #localwine #localwinery #sonomacountyvitners #sonomavalley #thumbprintcellars #winetasting #sonomacounty #sonomacountyvineyards #wine #californiawine (at Downtown Healdsburg, Healdsburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbs9EedvZ9i/?utm_medium=tumblr
