🍇 How much do we appreciate feedback from our clients? A ton! 🍇 It was a joy to hear how Alicia Wilbur's experiences with SPICA has influenced QC at Herzog Wine Cellars: "With SPICA, our ability to track lots in real time has been game changing.   The volume of wine we produce and in the myriad of styles we make (still, effervescent, dry, sweet, red, white, sterile, non-sterile, etc) kept growing in volume and complexity.  We needed something that could keep up with all the parameters we were tracking.  In most cases, we have tripled the output on analysis; this has allowed us to spot problem lots and track them immediately, as well as track the efficacy of our problem remediation.  Because we can check so many parameters simultaneously, we are able to manage cellar health much more proactively.  We went with SPICA for several reasons: Robust industry presence of the Y15 autoanalyzer, the fact that SPICA technicians have real world winemaking and win

Last month we had the great pleasure to present posters about our new tannin methods at ASEV with our partners, BioSystems.  Our first poster highlights an optimized multiple linear regression model that uses automated testing to predict tannin levels in wine. The research was done in labs in four countries using multiple grape varietals throughout the stages of winemaking. By combining machine learning with SPICA’s advanced analysis tools, it offers a fast and simple way to ensure consistent wine quality. Our second poster describes an alternative to tannin precipitation by Mexthylcellulose (MCP) in wine. While traditional methods take a great deal of time to prepare the reagents, our MCP kit is ready to use out of the box with an 18 month shelf life and provides fast and reliable results on the SPICA automated platform. Congratulations to Marilyn Garcia, José Morales Ariza, Leonardo Estrada Dueñas, and Andreu Tobeña Montanuy for the completion of these

Do you need lab equipment but don’t have CapEx?  Not a problem—financing can be the key! Financing lets you invest now, without draining your cash flow. This is a smart way for you to grow your business and stay competitive. Here’s why: With financing, you can begin saving money immediately on QC! Tax laws allow you to deduct the entire investment in the year of purchase, which can often offset the cost of financing.  With in-house QC, you get the data you need to make decisions quickly, allowing you to improve the quality of your current and future vintages.
