I was born into wine making family (with history going back few centuries). The land I am farming on was purchased by myself, using money from my software development days, and it is separate entity with very different approach to rest of my family. They like to play it safe, I am trying to farm organically, I am focusing more on premium side, they are more into bulk wine and so forth.
It is tough business, the investment required is huge and you should expect that your money will be returned in decades (if ever). I didn't have huge pile of money, so the winery is build in very tiny steps and it will take a lot of time to actually make it work, but I feel like this is something I should do and writing software on side will keep me safe financially.
