Yes, I grow my own grapes too.
Since I am in the highest elevation wine region in North America, my options for varieties that grow well here are limited.
Pinot Noir does insanely well here, so that's what I focus on.
To give my customers variety, I also buy grapes from the Grand Valley AVA that is only about an hour from me in Colorado.
Fair enough.
It took ages for the comments to load otherwise I wouldn't have asked because you've already answered.
I think you should go all in on your own grapes.
Save the money you would have spent buying extra grapes and spend it on expending your vineyard.
Maybe start making a cider or something else if you want to give your customers more variety
Cider would devalue my brand. It's a wine perception thing.
I have a new vineyard close to production and adding more is an 8 year commitment to not making money from the investment which is untenable when thinking about it in a Bitcoin lens.
Your sentiment is right tho
