Wen Jensen – Sages Vintages
Why they chose Process2wine
Some wineries find Process2Wine through word of mouth. That includes Wes Jensen at Sages Vintage in Nacogdoches, Texas, who says, “I received a referral at a Texas trade show and was locked in after I found that Process2Wine could track and record all of the data for our custom crush winery and saw the price was right.”
Most wineries undertake an in-depth evaluation of all the winery management software options before making a decision.
One active daily user, Ruth Braida, an enologist at Papagni Wines in Madera, California, says, “After looking at all software providers like Innovint and AMS, I chose Process2Wine because it has all of the same functions as the others but costs a lot less. Plus, it has a better support system.”
Zach Waltz, the associate winemaker at his family-owned Waltz Vineyard Estate Winery in Manheim, Pennsylvania, tried out several other software packages, including Innovint, before choosing Process2Wine. His reason? “I chose Process2Wine because winemaking is a complex task and its technological capabilities and features gave me more options, and the price was more reasonable than all the others. »

AJ Greely, winemaker and cellarmaster at Hark Vineyards in Earlysville, Virginia, agreed. She chose Process2Wine software for her 5000 case production winery because it was easier to use than the other providers and was built for small to medium-sized wineries.
Which Process2wine features make a difference
Once the decision about software is made, Process2Wine users dive into integrating the features they need most into their daily workflow.
Ruth finds the software helpful in calculating the proportions of varietals, appellations and vintages while blending wines for her many custom crush clients. “It’s a lot of work when you have a lot of little blends”, she explains, “especially when the lees tank has a ton of little bits of everything at the end of crush.”
She also frequently refers to the customized cellar mapping feature that shows the current volumes and history on icons representing each tank and barrel, and the winery owner is excited about using the feature that manages costs from grape to bottle, including additives and packaging.

As another custom crush winemaker, Wes spends most of his time on a forklift pulling bins of fruit and weighing them for the 15,000 cases his customers need this year. He loves using the mobile version to track his data, saying, “I don’t have to get off the forklift to plug in the numbers, making it easy to track weight as I go.”
AJ concurs with Wes on the value of tracking data in real-time; for her, that means Process2Wine’s ease of use when monitoring density and temperature during fermentation and reviewing grape composition for the various blends she’s putting together.
She adds, “I love being able to go back in and see everything laid out from when we picked to when we bottled – that’s just genius. Plus, TTB reporting with Process2Wine is so much easier!”
AJ also takes advantage of printing out work orders for employees so she can track their work progress and trace it back to someone if there’s a problem.

Like AJ, Zach loves using the software to track the inventory of all his ingredients. It makes it easy to know precisely what is on hand, what he needs to buy, and what he has used in the past.
« The best feature is being able to look back on historical data to review the decisions I’ve made for past batches both good and bad” he says. “I always learn from how those batches turned out. But the software is only as good as the data, so you have to be diligent about entering the data, and Process2Wine makes it easy to do this.”
