@_jim_@ there was a recent article about how the global wine glut was hurting smaller California wineries. Apparently the big players are buying foreign wines on da cheap and blending them here, instead of buying Californian wines.
Any effect of that on the Oregon wine business?
There are lot of things affecting the domestic wine industry at the moment. In short, yes, there is too much supply. There's also a bit of a market correction - pandemic drinking habits were unsustainable (though, good for business). Consumers are returning to more moderate drinking. Additionally, inflation has had a negative effect on...well...nearly everything. Consumers are spending more on things they need to live which means less to spend on luxury tasty things. All of the markets we work in keep asking for the same thing - "can you make it cheaper (but also keep it organic and make sure everyone to get paid a fair wage along the way)?" This is the downside of existing at 'mid-shelf' pricing (which is, of course, a relative concept). If my wines were incredibly expensive (and I could sell them) there is the consumer that always has money to spend on such things and always will (the Leica model of business). If they were incredibly cheap, I could (theoretically) sell large volumes to people who (like me) feel confused about how bonkers expensive groceries have become in the last year+.
Thankfully, the scale of farming/production in Oregon is still small (from a global industrial point-of-view), so it's completely impossible for me to try to compete with cheap Euro/Cali/Washington wines. So, I can't even worry about that. Eventually, things will shake out, but some businesses will fail along the way.
At least, in the mean time, it's a fun job with a nice looking backdrop...

Lovely pics Jim. Yeah I don't get grocery prices. At the local farmers' market red bell peppers are $5.99/lb. Not even organic. And who know if the farm even grows them! After a scandal about 10 years ago when it was discovered that many of these business were buying their produce on the wholesale market, then labelling it sold as grown on their own farms - these booths now have big signs saying 'we grow what we sell'.
Well, that's what we thought before...
Anyway, I hope the wine biz keeps you happy and solvent. Need to be able to pay for all that film and Leica CLAs!

Hasselbald recently moved their repair facilities to Burbank (LA San Fernando valley). So I got all excited and thought I could get my H1 serviced. Nope - they don't do that. Even though the camera was being sold 20 yrs ago, is a professional unit, and they are still in business.
That is serious weak sauce. Nothing is broken - everything works. Just wanted a CLA.

If they were smart, take the camera in for service just to help brand loyalty. Most likely, they probably don’t have any technicians that know how to work on it.

Jim, do you sell your wine as far east as Pennsylvania? My wife and I would be happy to pick one up if we could find it locally!

Absolutely. Probably not in State College (PA is tough state to do business with...) but if you ever make it to Philly, many of the DiBruno Bros stores stock our wine.
