I'm constantly looking for ideas to incorporate into my planned store as I got a lot of good ideas while living in Chicago for the last 12 years.

Anyways, in addition to the above salient points, I would add the over-used passion word. Somebody showing up at my door with a degree and ennui should just keep going. I need a hardworker who is energized and focused. They have to be already thinking, sleeping and eating grape. I can train people to use a filter or work the press; I can't light a fire in their guts. Well, I could, I suppose, but then I'd be off to jail. Well, I’m late again.

Another way for civilians to break into winemaking is through companies like CrushPad. They have an innovative (and successful) business model, and it would be a good way to test the waters before taking the plunge. I think most people just see the glamorous side of winemaking and owning a winery; and ignore the difficulties and drawbacks. Its a very difficult business; I have a great deal of respect for anyone who can make it in that end of the wine industry. Great post.
