They really wanted you to sell your Bitcoin.

At a blind tasting with Pinot Noirs from around the world, professionals swore my 2023 Estate Pinot Noir was Burgundy.
They were shocked by where it came from.
The 2023 vintage is special to me. 5 years into Peony Lane Wine production, this was the vintage I had been waiting for. Each year before had gone wrong.
2019 was my first year making wine and the learning curve was steep. Normal crop. Average wine.
2020 was weird. California wildfires pushed birds off their migratory pattern. By the time we noticed, they'd eaten half our grapes. After harvest that Fall, a hard frost wiped out the whole state's crop.
2021: zero grapes.
2022 was a second recovery year. Vines had grown back from the roots, but they weren't ready to produce much quantity. Good wine, very little of it.
By 2023 the vineyard was reestablished. Growing season went without a hitch. I got a full crop with amazing ripening.
I was ready to take advantage of it as a winemaker and I'm proud to say it is the best wine I have ever made.
People tell me they like my wine all the time, but when a blind tasting has professionals confidently declaring my wine to be a Burgundy, I know I did good.

Is my career safe from AI? We're all thinking it.
A winemaker's future isn't as simple as "a robot will take my job."
I'll benefit from the first wave of automation through better software tools for marketing and production. When I zoom out, I see robots working my vineyard, trained more precisely than any human.
A robot can't make good wine though, right?
Most wine, especially in the USA, is ready for robotic production. Massive wine operations focus on reproducible, consistent, and formulaic results. This doesn't create interesting wine, but it's big business.
Winemaking is a balance between art and science. A robot will definitely be able to complete the science based tasks, but the question remains: Can AI do art?
There's this concept of "wu" from The Man in the High Castle - this soul-connection between maker and creation. You notice it when AI images lack that certain something that gives it soul or makes it feel real.
AI will get better and better at replicating soul. The masses won't care, they already don't, and will appreciate cheaper wine.
My career future rests on whether people care enough to spend the extra money for wine with soul produced by a human.

Terroir is dead.
Wine was once nature's signature, bottled. You could taste the soil, feel the topography, sense the climate, but those days are largely over.
Natural variability is bad for business, and consistency sells. Why risk a bad year when you can prevent it? Why let vintage variation affect sales when consumers want the same taste every time?
I'm not suggesting malice from winemakers. The problem is systemic.
Making wine with a sense of place is hard, and every tradeoff pulls you further from that truth. Each decision can make wine cheaper, more reliable, or less connected to its origin, but it all exists in a grey area. There's no fine line to cross.
Take drip irrigation. You farm with less water, but your vines get lazy and their roots stay near the surface instead of diving deep into the soil profile. You gain ripening control, but lose the signature of seasonal rains.
If you add compost or fertilizers you get more grapes, with "better" quality, but you've masked the natural nutrient balance of your land.
Commercial yeasts bring foreign cultures to any cellar that wants them.
Even farming and fermenting is done traditionally, a winemaker can use a seemingly endless list additives to manipulate flavor, texture, aroma, and color to whatever profile they're chasing.
Even if terroir still exists in some wines, how do you really know that its the earth you are tasting?

I've lost entire vintages overnight.
Here's what winter survival looks like when you farm wine in the highest elevation wine region in North America.
Winter is the most important and least controllable season in my vineyard. I can't stop the cold and since the vines go dormant, I don't find out the results until May.
Most years blend together, but there are three scenarios that keep me up at night.
The Fall of 2020 was unseasonably warm. Days got into the 70s without a freeze until November. Then it dropped to 13 degrees overnight. Without a gradual decline into dormancy, every vine above got zapped above ground. They came back from the roots, but I lost my entire 2021 vintage with zero way to prevent it.
Before I took over, my dad had also lost the entire vineyard to hard frosts that dropped below -10 midwinter. This is rare, but when it happens the grapes simply can't survive it and there's nothing I can really do to prevent it.
Last year I lost a third of my vineyard above ground and so did other growers in the region. It never got excessively cold and it was a normal Fall so we are a bit stumped as to why. Our best hypothesis is that since it was such a mild winter without snow, the ground got so dry the vines couldn't make it through. The only thing I can do about that is irrigate heavily right before the water gets shut off in October. I'm not sure how effective it is because that water would have to last 5 months but it's all I've got. This winter has been even drier than last.
I could get crop insurance, but prefer to steer away from government subsidies to make my own contingency plans.
We'll see what happened in May!

Linking wine to status never made sense to me.
Wine has so much less to do with what you spend on the bottle than the connections it creates. Any wine can be great if you pair it with good friends or a nice meal.
The memories are what matter in the end.
So why spend more when cheap wine checks that same box?
The difference is in how you feel afterward.
A great night with friends shouldn't end with a headache as you're going to bed and you shouldn't have to think twice about opening a bottle because you're worried about how tomorrow will feel.
That comes down to what's actually in the wine.
Most conventional wine is full of additives and excessive sulfites that your body doesn't handle well. That's where much of the hangover comes from.
Drink low intervention or natural wine. Meet your winemaker. Ask questions about what goes into the bottle. Once you find wine that leaves you feeling good the next morning, you stop worrying and start enjoying the nights that matter.
You'll find more excuses to have them too
