"There are some really great opportunities to snag some brands and
to snag some wineries and some land" in the valleys of Sonoma and
Napa in California and Wilamette in Oregon and Wallawalla in
Washington, says Wine Library TV founder Gary Vaynerchuk in this
video interview with The Deal. Analysts are predicting a shakeout
in wine country this year, with many hobby and lifestyle wineries
expected to crumble under the pressures of the recessions, creating
buying opportunities ripe for the picking for wineries including
Antica Terra, a Wilamette Pinot Noir vineyard owned by a trio of
investment bankers and up and coming winemaker Maggie Harrison. See
