Video: Sommelier Starts a Winery

February 26, 2010 by Doug Haugen  

When I saw this, I had a good laugh, and I just had to share. Campy and rough, it still demonstrates the ridiculous misconception of what being a winemaker (or owning a winery) is all about. Winemakers watching this will snicker if not guffaw. For those that don’t get it, let me tell you that starting a winery means great sacrifice, dedication, hard work, and penny-pinching. Blood, sweat and tears, my friends.

Credit for this hilarious short goes to Greg Harrington of Gramercy Cellars. Great stuff, Greg.
