My family has been in the grape business for years, however my great Grandfather was a farmer who shipped his grapes to be made into grape juice, jellies & jams, then i have decided to do something a little weird with my crop.
I have started making my grapes into wine.
I actually stomp the grapes, sweeten them with agave & do all my own bottling. I even built a winery right on my grape fields to make production easier. It was an high-priced start up but. The building needed to be quite giant with water, electric & Heating, Ventilation, & A/C. I thought I was going to save a whole bunch of money with my Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system. I ended up just making things difficult for myself. I purchased a heat pump online for a cheap rate & then haggled with a Heating, Ventilation, & A/C business for installation, but a Heating, Ventilation, & A/C professional refused to touch my Heating, Ventilation, & A/C component that wasn’t affiliated with his business… He didn’t trust the plan & didn’t want to be held accountable. I was forced to rely on a handyman to do the heat pump installation. The guy did install my heat pump & it works, so I can’t absolutely complain. I am a little upset that he installed the outdoor component right by my front door. It is eye level with you when you open the door too. It makes my professional winery look tacky & cheap. I just dislike it there, but you get what you pay for though. I should have just gotten a professional grade heat pump & a real business to install it. It would have been done right & looked professional… Now I am stuck with an ugly heat pump.
