Custom Wines on the Rise

Casavino Winery was highlighted in several news pieces on custom-made wines over the long Christmas weekend. Great to get the word out on custom-made wines, as we sense this is a trend more eople will want to explore in 2010. From the piece:

"Casavino’s popularity and success has grown every year, with a 30% increase in 2009 sales over last year, and with many customers driving 4-5 hours to the winery to produce their favorite wine. Seventy-eight percent of the Burglin’s business is winemaking; only 20% constitutes purchases by the bottle or glass; and 2% is wholesale sales to local restaurants."

And Jordan added this: "“Any wine in a store can be made here in four to six weeks, from start to finished product,” states Jordan. “Many people think wines should be aged before they’re consumed, but few realize that the vast majority of commercial red wines are aged less than 2 years. And white wines don’t have to be aged.” White “Zin”, for instance, is the typical “first run” of batches made from zinfandel grapes."

Hope to see you soon for your own custom-made wine!
