QOTD: I technically know the definition of estate bottled, but I don’t really notice it or look for it on the label. I think most people are unaware of the processes and multiple layers that go into making a wine–they just look for the results, juice in the bottle. Branding and educating people about why estate bottled is a good thing is key.

QOTD: I agree with Gary that in the general marketplace “Estate Grown” has limited impact. Even if the concept is explained, there a number of folks who will understand the concept, and only hope one day to see the vineyards at Boone’s Farm.
For myself, it certainly does indicate a long term vision, and deep dedication to the process…but alone does not indicate a high quality product, nor justify a higher price point. It just means what it means, “we grew it, and we made the wine”…if we grew bad fruit we make bad wine. However, if the product is superlative, we get to take all of the credit.
