Seufert Winery is launching.

My friends, Randy and Kim Coleman of Coleman Vineyard, have invited me to share their winery space to make my first vintage of Oregon Pinot Noir.

Crush is just around the corner (early October), so I'm frantically getting everything ready. I'm setting up an LLC legal entity, working with the OLCC and BATF/TTB to establish a bonded winery, and purchasing some of the equipment required to make wine.

Most importantly, I'm taking a self-taught crash course in wine making. These books are helpful: Winemaking - from Grape Growing to Marketplace, Modern Winemaking, and the Oxford Companion to Wine.

Come back and see how Seufert Winery takes shape.
