Now is the time to make an appointment to make beer or wine for the holidays.  You want to make sure it's done in time.  Impress your friends & family with your homemade delicious wine at holiday dinner parties.  Or give your holiday wine as gifts.  Time slots are filling up.  Many holiday labels to choose from. Gift cards are always the perfect gift for that person on your list that is hard to buy for.

Late last night, I signed the last shareholder agreement, which essentially turned my company from a "pretender" into the "real deal".  Nearly 3 years ago, I took on the challenge of chasing my dream -- it seemed likely a ridiculously insurmountable academic exercise at the time.  But I convinced myself to take that first step forward, to commit to doing it -- this is the step that most people never take.  What is…
