Today's conversation features Melissa Aellen, Linganore Winecellars.

Melissa is my first ever guest from Maryland, a US state with over 80 wineries.

Linganore Winecellars are the largest producer in the state. Sitting on 230 acres of rolling countryside, with 80 acres under vine, producing over 30 grape, fruit, and honey wines.

This conversation leans into discovery, which makes sense as I am yet to visit Maryland.

But this didn't hold us back. As Melissa and I were ultimately able to develop a powerful winery fingerprint, which she is keen to test within the local community.

How did we do? How did we get there? Listen on to find out.

Today's conversation features Theresa Breuer, Weingut Georg Breuer in Rheingau, Germany.

I visited the winery in July 2024 at the invitation of Wines of Germany. Theresa shows that applying the model to a multi-generational family business can uncover something quite unique. And their Winery Fingerprint matches perfectly to their business focus of distribution through a network of international partners.

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