I have been daydreaming about starting a small production winery maybe just making 400 bottles annually. I would like to sell the wine maybe to restaurants, friends and family.
I have been pondering where the best location would be to start something like this. It seems like there are three big decisions to consider.
1. The close proximity to good grapes.
2. State laws that would be favorable for a business like this.
3. The cost of living
For example, here in the state of GA you can't get local grapes or you do not want to. also the state laws governing distribution of alcohol have not changed since prohibition but you can find cheap land.
I am sure, Northern California would work but the cost of living is very high.
Any ideas?
Thanks Steve
