not make any one company better or
worse than another, just different. The
key, once again, is finding the best fit for
your winery's needs. A key step is to find
out how any software company does
their updates and how often. A winery
that tells a state agency "the software
wasn't updated" will be the one facing a
problem with its permit, not the software
company.
Any compliance system should be like
a well-tended vine. Put in the work to
establish a good system, and it can grow
into something beautiful and powerful. If
left untended, it will grow in all sorts of
unintended and usually poor directions.
"The myriad of details involved in wine
compliance is not the reason individuals
get into the wine industry," related
