Made to order: Contract winemaking takes the sting out of starting
Michael Shaps (right) started Virginia Wineworks with partner Philip Stafford in 2007. In addition to producing its own wines, the business now has more than 25 clients who use its operation to make wines from their own grapes, which are then sold under distinct labels. Most of Virgnia Wineworks’ clients produce between 1,000 and 4,000 cases of contract wine per year. Photo: Jack Looney
