Hi guys,
my name is David and I am fellow wine maker from Czech republic. Yeah, I know, we are famous for beer, but we do have quite a long tradition of wine making as well.
Tradition of wine making in my family is few hundred years old and I kind of grew up around wine as well. My first memories are about "helping out" in vineyards, but as I can't never imagine myself being farmer while growing up. So I took first chance and left village for big(ish) city, study artificial intelligence and spent most of my 20s traveling the world.
Life is sometimes funny and I get tired of living in paradises and get back home. I do own about one hectare of vineyards now. My plants are 35 years old in average and are in different stages of despair, but they are improving year after year.
I do mostly white wines of local variaetals: Gruner Veltliner, Sylvaner, Welschriesling, Malvasia as well as some red wine: Saint Laurent (with little bit of local variety called Andre). I do farm lautte raisonee, but plan to go organic in few years. I also plan to replant some plots with Riesling grapes.
Other than winemaking I am also founder of R&D company that develop tool for spectrographic wine analysis. Something like OenoFoss/Winescan, but much smaller (phone sized) and much much cheaper.
