The differene between a Vintner and a Winemaker is simple. A Winemaker makes wine and a Vintner owns the winery. I often use the term Winemaker for many of my guests, as a generality. John Troisi of Jean Edwards Cellars is a Vintner. In face he lives in New Jersey operating the winery on a day to day basis, long distance. I spoke with John recently to get a better idea of his role in this crazy business. And it can be crazy. Mother Nature makes the rules.

Rachel Rose is Winemaker and Vineyard Manager at Bryn Mawr Vineyards in Willamette Valley, Oregon.
