“Winemaking is like the game of Chess, the winemaker must think many steps ahead, anticipating the impact each move will have at a later point in time. Just like a Grandmaster has a game plan, a winemaker heads into each growing season with a clear vision, a plan for contingencies, and you must stay true to your resolve. When that resolve is to craft world-class wines and you ultimately achieve it, you have truly mastered your craft.”
