COPYRIGHT F. GADEK 04/18/ BRIEF SUMMARY OF “ MY TAKE “ – MANY TRAGEDIES 1]MANY TRAGEDIES OF THOSE WHO GET THE “ WINE BUG “ “ WINE BUG “ & FAIL INVOLVING THE FUNDS OF THE FAMILY & NOT JUST “ PLAY MONEY “ THAT CAN BE MORE EASILY LOST – MANY ARE NOT PUBLICIZED FOR OBVIOUS REASONS STRONG SUPPORT 2]STATES WITH STRONG SUPPORT FOR ENOLOGY & VITICULTURE + FUNDED RESEARCH – SURVIVE THE MOST & CAN PROSPER – THOSE THAT DO NOT HAVE THIS CONTINUE TO DECLINE AS EXPECTED 3]ALL OF THESE STATISTICS NEED TO BE CONTINUALLY UPDATED BY THE INDUSTRY WITH PROPER FUNDING 4]PLCB STATISTICS ON AMOUNT SOLD SEEM VERY HIGH – IS THIS DATA VERIFIED ? ARE WINERIES NOT INDICATING THE ACTUAL TOTAL OF PRODUCTION & POSSIBLY INFLATING SOLD ? PA WINERY SURVIVAL - " LOST "

COPYRIGHT F. GADEK 04/18/ ]MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT PLCB NO LONGER HAS A LAB TO CHECK ALL WINES BEING SOLD IN PA TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE & ARE NOT HAZARDOUS ? IS THIS TRUE ? 6]IT SEEMS TO ME THAT OVER 150 SMALL WINERIES AS OF ABOUT 2012 DOES NOT SEEM SUSTAINABLE IN THE LONG TERM – ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO ALL THE OTHER STATES WITH SIMILAR HIGH NUMBERS OF SMALL WINERIES & THE FACT THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE AT THE PA STATE STORES FOR ABOUT $3 / BOTTLE CALIFORNIA WINES IN 5 LITER BULK THAT ARE TOP VARIETIES WITH CONSISTENT HIGH & DEPENDABLE QUALITY “ MATURE 7]THE WINE INDUSTRY CAN BE CONSIDERED A “ MATURE INDUSTRY “ INDUSTRY “ – SO THERE IS LITTLE ROOM FOR FURTHER GREAT INNOVATION & EXPANSION – YOU CAN DO A “ GOOGLE “ SEARCH ON MORE DETAILS OF WHAT THAT MEANS – BUT IN ESSENCE IT WILL CONTINUE TO CONTRACT WITH ONLY THE “ BIG PLAYERS “ BEING ABLE TO BE SUSTAINED IN THE LONG TERM. PA WINERY SURVIVAL - " LOST "

COPYRIGHT F. GADEK 04/18/ ]OVERALL SIMPLY – SMALL WINERIES ARE A NICE “ HOBBY “ FUNDED BY DISPOSABLE / PLAY MONEY – BUT VERY DOUBTFUL TO BE REALISTICALLY PROFITABLE IN THE LONG TERM 8]CERTAINLY THE SMALL WINERY MODEL OF PHILIP WAGNER WITH BOORDY WINERY & VINEYARD IS A WORTHWILE GOAL FOR LONG TERM CHANCES OF OVERALL SUCCESS, AS MODEST AS IT MAY BE. PA WINERY SURVIVAL - " LOST "

COPYRIGHT F. GADEK 04/18/ SINCERE & HEARTFELT ALL THE BEST ! BUT IT IS VERY CLEAR WHAT WILL CONTINUE UNLESS THERE ARE VERY SUBSTANTIVE & DRAMATIC CHANGES THAT ARE REALISTICALLY VERY DOUBTFUL. THE WINE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN VERY GOOD FOR ME & MY LIFE & CAREERS – I WAS VERY GREATFUL TO MANY FOR MUCH – THOSE WERE THE VERY GOOD YEARS FOR THE INDUSTRY LIKE SO MANY INDUSTRIES AS WE ARE NOW SEEING WITH EVEN COMPUTING. BUT I HAVE MOVED ON TO MY DECADES OF STS – NSF RESEARCH WITH THE WINE INDUSTRY AS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW BEST TO UNDERSTAND & MANAGE SUCH DRAMATIC & POWERFUL STS ISSUES IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES.
