Board Meeting

One of the great things about the family is its spontaneity.

We had our first board meeting during Christmas. Not everyone was there so not all ideas were heard. But it was nice to see the excitement.

The discussions went from where should the vineyard be, what to start with first (amphitheater, vineyard, restaurant, etc.) vineyard names (Faultline seemed to come out ahead), who should be the CEO and why and who would herd the cashmere goats.

The discussions got rather heated at times and someone pointed out that this is why they stay from family businesses. But we are a magnanimous group and emotions rarely last any length of time.
