3 who s talking in this issue WBM July 2012 Dick Arrowood, The Mystery of Bottle Shock, page 18 In regard to bottle shock: Put 10 winemakers in a room, and you ll come up with 15 different theories. Bo Barrett, Chateau Montelena, The Mystery of Bottle Shock, page 18 Wine sitting in a barrel receives oxygen that passes through the pores in the wood. The H 2 O and alcohol molecules interact with this back and forth passing of oxygen, happily. When you put that wine into a bottle, you change the equilibrium that it had in the barrel. The only oxygen it gets has to pass through the cork. Linda Bisson, V&E Deptartment, UC Davis, UC Davis: Microbial Analyses Seminar, page 30 Managing microorganisms requires: knowing what s present; knowing which are beneficial, benign or detrimental; knowing how to stimulate or inhibit specific organisms or classes; knowing what to monitor and when; and knowing what you re trying to accomplish. Ed Kempkey, Kempkey Risk Management, Survey Report: Facilities, Risk Management, page 60 Studies show insurance premiums may only cover approximately one-half the cost of risk. Unfortunately, most wineries stop managing risk with the mere purchase of insurance. In many cases, this does not accurately reflect their needs.

4 business & technology The ipad Winery From the vineyards to sales, Jordan transforms how it does business. Michael S. Lasky A couple of years ago John Jordan, the owner and CEO of Jordan Vineyard & Winery, wanted to give a special Christmas gift of appreciation to his employees. He had always been comfortable with technology and a strong believer in how technology can improve work efficiency. So with that in mind, he gave each of the nearly 100 employees of the winery an ipad2. Not just any ipad but the top-of-the-line 64GB model with WiFi and 3G cellular service. As Jordan explained it, I wanted the staff to become comfortable with new technology and achieve a cultural change in the firm. The ipad was a gift, given with no demands that the staff put it to use in their jobs. But the very design of the ipad and its zillion apps made the transition to new technology as smooth as, well, a Jordan Cabernet. Before too long, Jordan employees from the vineyards to the tank rooms to the salespeople on the road were all but ditching their laptops and relying on their ipads to get their work done faster and more efficiently than ever before. Jordan Winery had become the ipad winery. As assistant winemaker Ronald Du Preez noted, Everything I can do on the laptop I pretty much can do on the tablet and easier. So I often leave the laptop PC behind when travelling and, certainly, when I am in the vineyard. Like other Jordan staff, Du Preez uses a combination of commercial apps available at the Apple App Store and custom apps on his ipad and companysupplied iphone. The ipad and iphone have made me incredibly efficient because I can connect to the winery via the Internet any time or any place where there is a cell or WiFi connection, DuPreez said. For example, I use the SoilWeb app, which connects to a national soil database. It shows me the soils I am dealing with in areas I am previously not familiar with. The ipad has consolidated just about all the functionality of the office into a lightweight device we can take everywhere. Chris Avery, Jordan Winery s national sales director SoilWeb offers GPS-based, real-time access to USDA-NRCS soil survey data, formatted for the iphone and ipad. The UC Davis application retrieves graphical summaries of soil types associated with the iphone s current geographic location, based on user-defined horizontal precision. Du Preez finds Acrolon Technologies TankNet an invaluable application to monitor tank temperatures and conditions. He accesses it via Citrix, a secure app that provides desktop virtualization and collaboration tools. 56 July 2012 WBM
5 The ipad Winery Streamlining information and communication between the ranch manager, the winemaker and crew gives us immediacy that we never had before the ipad. Brent Young, Jordan Vineyard & Winery viticulturist Harvest production became more efficient with ipad apps, saving me a lot of time. Previously, I would have to go back and forth from the vineyards to the office to check on the tanks, for example. Now, thanks to the 3G cell service on the ipad or iphone, I can log in and make adjustments. If there is an issue with, say, a tank s temperature, I can monitor that from the field and have someone at the winery handle the problem, Du Preez said. Equally enthusiastic about how the ipad has successfully improved the way he gets things done is Jordan Winery s viticulturist, Brent Young. The ipad app Young relies on most frequently is AgCode. Customized specifically for Jordan, its versatile functionality is what appeals to Young. With AgCode, I can see what we have harvested, where we are on the block, create work orders for spraying, handle crew assignments and time cards, manage work and equipment, and on and on. What s great is I can get all this done without having to go back to the office. Previously, I would have a clipboard for the various tasks and have to go back to my desk and transfer everything to a spreadsheet, Young explained. Now, as soon as I enter the data on the ipad, it is automatically integrated into a spreadsheet that everyone can see. For example, I can send out a 58 July 2012 WBM
6 spraying alert, to all concerned, not to go into a particular vineyard for 24 hours. So streamlining information and communication between the ranch manager, the winemaker and crew gives us immediacy that we never had before the ipad, Young said. For the Jordan Winery sales team, who are always moving around their sales territories, the ipad has proven to be a godsend. The ipad has consolidated just about all the functionality of the office into a lightweight device we can take everywhere, said Chris Avery, Jordan Winery s national sales director. Avery relies on the ipad for its range of presentation tools to suit specific accounts. Here s an example of how the ipad lets me master a visit to one customer. I was preparing for a sales meeting with Chicago restaurant, Hub 51. I booked a reservation with the OpenTable app, sent an to coordinate with our distributor so they could alert their salesperson and customized a presentation to demonstrate how Jordan wines fit with the restaurant s particular menu. With the ipad, I was able to show a custom video to show examples of food and wine pairings specific to Hub 51, Avery explained. When our winemaker, Rob Davis, can t meet directly with a client, we use the FaceTime ipad app so Rob can conduct a wine tasting remotely at the restaurant, he added. FaceTime is Apple s video calling service that utilizes the ipad and iphone s built-in camera. The ipad has made us more nimble as a sales team, allowing us to be a quick responding educational sales force. We can adapt on the fly, Avery said. And we use the Concur app for expense reporting when we are on the road. Now instead of having to create a paper-based report with photocopies of receipts sent via FedEx, we can take a photo of the receipt and virtually attach it to the ipad-prepared report we send via the Internet. No more FedEx expenses, no paper trails back and forth. The ipad actually saves us time and money, Avery concluded. The moral of the story: What was originally a well-intended holiday gift has become a gift that keeps on giving. Armed with the ipad and sundry apps, the employees in all departments have comfortably, indeed enthusiastically, embraced new technology and transformed Jordan Winery into the ipad winery.
