CORRECTIONS The manufacturer of the destemmer-crusher at Las Positas Vineyards in Livermore, Calif., was stated incorrectly in multiple places in a Technical Review article about Las Positas Vineyards in the February 2014 issue of Wines & Vines. The destemmer-crusher shown in the photo on page 50 and cited in the article is made by the Italian company Enoveneta. The winery also owns a Vaucher-Beguet Mis- tral 100 automatic sorting machine available through Scott Labs. The winery transitioned to a new Armbruster Rotovib 10 destemmer (purchased from Scott Labs) after the article was researched. A story in the May 2014 issue of Wines & Vines incorrectly attributes the manufacturer of packaging for Clos LaChance. The closures are made by Cork Supply, while the labels are produced by Trysk.
