Andrew Hodson’s point is simple: “Unless we sell wine, we can’t buy grapes.” Hodson is the owner of and “emeritus winemaker” at Veritas Vineyards. He was in the C-VILLE office several weeks back, describing the complicated web of professional organizations that in some sense threatens the health of Virginia winemakers and winegrowers.
