Today's conversation features Steven Thompson of Analemma Wines in Mosier on the Oregon side of the Columbia Gorge.

Hearing his origin story we get a sense of both his deeper motivations and twists and turns on the way. But as you will hear, I believe to break through the noise more effectively they need something much sharper.

And listening back to this episode I really love what we discovered together and based on my own experience of visiting Analemma I think my proposed Analemma Winery Fingerprint can be a powerful tool for more efficient customer outreach and engagement.

Brick House should be a familiar name, not just because of their stellar wines, but because Brick House founder Doug Tunnell is a two-time Interpreting Wine guest.

With Savannah having now taken the reins of the operation there is naturally a period of adaptation. A fascinating time to reflect on what made the brand so successful in the first place and what it aspires to be going forward.

I really love what we discovered together in this episode and how the Winery Fingerprint model accurately and meaningfully captures their story.
