Family Business

My family is about to close on our biggest ever investment. We're purchasing 250 acres up in the Panhandle of Texas to open a Vineyard. Along with 55 acres down in the Fredericksburg area to build the Winery. Hopefully we'll have productive vines within 3-5 years. Then will be able to make wine in 2-3 years and our own grapes wine in 5-7 years.

Should we consider building our own coin as the next investment?

no

Just shorted WINE.

I should start a CummiesCoin. Just me cumming into a pile of pennies then charging 5x the going rate.Would probably rival BTC.

im sure cuck'n'wifes sons winery will give MD20/20 a run for its money

Let me guess you're more the moonshine type?

I think you're on to something sunny. Now how do we scale it?

Hey 9 out of 10 Sorority sluts agree the jolly rancher flavour masks the taste of cum and disappointment.

We could scale it with a NEET farm, pay them to cum into jars. Go exchange bills at banks for rolls of coins.

But the OnlyFans subscription alone will probably put us in the red.

One fleshlight. Neet slaves.

Sorry user. Enjoy bottom tier wine that nobody will buy.

isn't that aquifer drying up?

Wow... the vast majority of responses below are completely useless. The topic is likely out of their wheelhouse. I'm curious to know more about vinyard presence in Texas. I'm a California kid and they're all over the place here - low quality shit in the Central (San Joaquin/Fresno Valley) and higher quality shit in the sonoma/napa region along with the Central Coast areas (Passa Robles...Santa Barbara...ect).

Are there any vineyards already growing where you're planning to develop this project?

The Texas Panhandle is one of the best regions to grow grapes in the Country. High enough altitude, cheap land, plentiful water, and good soil for most species of grapes; especially Malbec. In the next 10 years Texas wine will surpass California wine. Just as California did to Australia. As Australia did to France.

All aquifers across the country are drying up. That doesn't include brackish water which is still plentiful. Combine with cheaper reverse osmosis and low electrical rates isn't a problem.

The cost of land, water, regulations, and general Silicon Valley fuckery has made CA wine basically impossible to grow or start new vineyards. You can buy an acre of land outside of Lubbock for $3k. Same quality land in the upper valley will go for

Fredericksburg is awesome. Too bad Texas is in the process of being overrun with foreign Invaders.

The finest grapes grown next to the horse shit and oil derricks sounds delicious you should call it yeehaw

Those foreign invaders are what makes harvesting the grapes cheap. In all serious though if we didn't have cheap wetbacks to harvest the grapes I guarantee someone would have developed more automated harvesting by now.

Newsflash fagatron, there are O&G wells in the Napa valley area. Most fertile areas are also prone to petroleum deposits.

Damn sweet dude, you could unironically try convincing your senpai to use blockchains for the business if you can figure out a way in which it could cut costs
You do realize horse shit is really good fertilizer

can’t wait for the whitepaper LOL

>use blockchains for the business
I like the value of smart contracts. It's just impossible to convince almost any dinosaur vendor or client to utilize them.

If there were any other ways to use it I'm open ears to it.

put in a distillery and be ready to make brandy if you don't nail wine right away. wine is a tough, crowded business with lots of very good competitors with a lot of money. they crush maggots like you every day. it's a lot easier to make world class brandy than world class wine and you aren't exactly in the Loire valley.

Well who knows how the crypto scene will have evolved by the time you get into making wine, but you can look into how supply chains can be improved

using blockchain to track proper storage for high end releases will be a thing, if it isn't already, in the major high end regions. not so much in Texas.

We looked at building a distillery but it would be an additional $4MM minimum to build one to scale. We're looking at the Malbec and sparkling wine business. Which right now there are a lot of competitors but there is a massive shortage of grapes. Its similar to the situation brewers were in with Hops back a decade ago due to the rise of craft brewers. Our revenue streams are focused on 3 sources.

Our primary source is to be a grower; over 70% of our vineyard is being grown for established wineries. There is no way we can utilize hundreds of tons of grapes from a newly established winery.

A secondary source is to establish the winery as a destination resort. The Hills country is becoming a big getaway destination for people from San Antonio, Austin, DFW, and Houston. We already have hotel experience so we already know the margins will work out well for that end.

The third and final source is the winery itself. We're hiring a good vintner but it might take decades to develop the wine into something that will compete.

I'm trying to see how smart contracts can be used for intracompany exchanges and crediting. Yet I still don't see the investment return. If you have a product you'd suggest I'm all ears.

>As it's a better growing region than the Hill Country down near Fredericksburg most major wineries grow up there.
>The Hills country is becoming a big getaway destination for people from San Antonio, Austin, DFW, and Houston
Fredricksburg is blowing up with wineries, its always been a nice place. Good soil. I have no idea when saturation would hit the area but if your research points to Tx wine becoming the next thing then Fredricksburg, Comfort, etc are the place to be. If it becomes a country wide wine destination you'd be in relatively soon. Last time I drove through there were maybe 15ish wineries and brewries. And tons of peaches lol.
Had no idea the panhandle was getting into wine. We own tons of land in south texas and it's just old fashioned ag. Sounds like you have a decent plan to grow for existing wineries. Might as well profit off the CA vultures picking this state apart.

>using blockchain to track proper storage for high end releases will be a thing, if it isn't already, in the major high end regions. not so much in Texas.
At the very least some Austin startup would want to be involved in a luxury good Texas blockchain. They love that thing here. No idea the ROI instead of just using an existing one though.

The South Plains of the Panhandle is where to be for Vineyards. We predict in 30 years it will be the largest grape growing region in the Americas. The family we're buying the 250 acres from holds 1800 acres. Only 1200 of it are usable for grapes but I think if this works out like we're hoping. Maybe a decade from now we can buy it from them.

Fredricksburg is the next big destination I know for Texas and the Wine community. Will it become nationwide? Not sure but they really need to invest more in the infrastructure locally if they hope to achieve that. Plus Texas wine really needs to improve, but that will come with time as they gain more experience and the vines age.

Did you guys benefit at all from the Eagleford Shale in S.TX?

Very interesting. I will tell my dad, I wonder if he knew about all this. Are the previous landowners keeping the rest of the land productive with grapes? The remainder would let you expand massively!
As far as infrastructure don't worry central texas is expanding massively too, Austin is completely unrecognizable, and the build out of Fredricksburg is starting.
We have some benefit from the Eagleford but the most of our land is on different old school oil plays.
Sounds like you have a plan for sure. Had no idea this was happening.

No it was cotton fields and ranching. They had thought about getting into grapes but the problem is the investment time. It takes minimum 3 years for vines to reach the productive state and another 2 to 3 years to fully mature.

Austin is literally becoming the San Fransico on the Colorado. They'll fuck it up though no doubt.

Honestly now is the time to get in on any land around Fredericksburg. There is so much demand it took us a year to secure something, but most people still don't see what's coming down the pipe.

Back to re ddit

I’m here in Texas. Everyone is trying to grow grapes. It’s the new fad. Go to HEB and look at the Texas wine isle. I have a buddy who is well established and he’s saying too many people are trying to break in with no idea how to make money and they’re just driving the cost down.
