This is Mike Roth on Open Forum in The Villages, Florida. 

Today I'm speaking with Christian Slupe with the Lakewood Ridge Winery and Vineyards. Thanks for joining me, Christian.

[00:02:11] Christian Slupe: Yeah, thanks for having me on Mike. I appreciate it.

[00:02:14] Mike Roth: Christian why don't you tell our listeners a little bit about the history of the brand and family, the story of Lakeridge Winery 

Yes, sir. Yeah. Thanks again, Mike. I'll begin with a background of myself. So I actually grew up in Colorado live there till I was 18. and I went to school to a small private school and just outside of Omaha, Nebraska. I played collegiate tennis there on a scholarship. I majored in accounting there and I worked in public accounting for about three years in Omaha before kind of making the decision to come down and work at the winery roughly two years ago. 

So to give a background of the winery that we've got at Lakeridge Winery and Vineyards here in Claremont, Florida is My granddad actually started this roughly 45 years ago. So he started it with five acres of vineyards that he actually had planted in his backyard. So that was the test vineyard for what was to come and what is now a the 2 largest wineries in the state that we now own but to go back to that he started with those 5 acres.

My uncle, who's now the 2nd generation, he's the president of the company helped him put those 5 acres of vineyards in on his plot of land there in Tallahassee. They actually had their first winery up in Tallahassee was called Lafayette Vineyards. This was about 41 and a half, 42 years ago. They had quickly realized that there wasn't as many tourists and as many people in that surrounding area to come and visit the winery and buy the wine

Yeah.

[00:03:41] Christian Slupe: as potentially was down in Orlando.

This was when Disney was. gaining all of its steam and just really becoming something that was large. So timing. They came down to Claremont where there was actually all those orange, orange freezes in the eighties. So he was able to secure a really beautiful piece of land on top of one of the biggest rolling hills in Claremont.

It's 127 acres. He purchased that back in 1988 and they quickly erected the original building that is still existing there at the Winery and Vineyards. And there in Claremont, they also had started planting the vineyards out there, which have now grown to 70 acres of planted vineyards. The whole piece of property is 127 acres. We have added on the building a couple of times to accommodate the increased storage that we need, the increased tank storage that we need, as well as increased retail room space for the amount of visitors that we're having per year. They opened the doors and in 1989, we just celebrated our 35th anniversary back in February of this year, which was a big milestone. From there, I, my uncle had came down after he was at Auburn university and he took over a Lakeridge in 1996. We purchased another winery and a building in St. Augustine, which is now San Sebastian, which is our sister Winery and Vineyards. That is now the second largest winery in the state. Lakeridge winery is the largest winery in the state. He now owns and pretty much operates that one. And now I have taken over as the chief operating officer at Lakeridge Winery and Vineyards in the past couple of months and I'm running that operation. So it's the third generation now and hopefully getting better and better throughout the generations.

[00:05:29] Mike Roth: You grow grapes at both locations.

[00:05:31] Christian Slupe: We only grow grapes here at the Lakeridge location here in Claremont, Florida. We've got 70 acres of planted vineyards. But we also have 450 acres that we own up in the pan handle just north of Panama City beach where we grow a majority of our grapes. They've got much better soil up there. San Sebastian is a standalone location, but they do have a restaurant upstairs. And we've got some future developments that are in the works for that location as well. But a very touristy area. St. Augustine in general is just an amazing place. That's the birthplace of wine to give you a quick tidbit of history.

That's actually where the first wines were produced in America were in St. Augustine when they came over from Spain back in the 1560s. And The first wines were actually made from the Muscadine grapes, which is what we're still making our wines with. To this day so far before anything was done in Napa Valley and anything else like that.

So we're very proud to be back in St. Augustine to be at that birthplace of the American wine. So it's a really cool spot as well.

[00:06:35] Mike Roth: What are the daily activities that you offer at the winery in Lakeridge and in San Augustine.

[00:06:42] Christian Slupe: Yeah. So very similar as to what we offer, we're doing for. Free tour. So complimentary tours and tastings seven days a week. We're open 10 to here at Lakeridge Winery and Vineyards. We're here 10 to 5:00 PM and then on Sundays it's 11 to five, but we offer complimentary tours and tastings. There's no reservation required.

People are just, can come into the winery and walk in. We will, once we get a couple of people, they'll go up and do watch the video to first start. And it's a. A background of the winery and how it started. It's about a 12 minute video. Then they'll go on a catwalk and see the bottling line.

And then they'll go back and see where we're actually processing the grapes. Obviously we're only doing that one time of the year, but they'll be able to see the equipment and then ultimately come down and do an actual tasting at the counter.

They'll do a tasting of probably eight wines. Which kind of varies depending on what we're offering and what is in season and what we're doing. So during the summer months, we'll offer something that's a little bit better chilled, the cabernets and whatnot might be a little bit warm during the summer months that we experienced here in central Florida, but we'll adapt to that, but give our guests a really great experience and something that's complimentary.

There's no pressure to buy anything. Obviously that's the end goal is. They would love the wine and walk out with a case or two, but really having the experience to come out and do something that's complimentary is hard to find these days. So we're proud to stand by that and stand by our product that we're willing to offer it on a complimentary basis.

[00:08:15] Mike Roth: So what month of the year do you actually do the harvesting and crushing the grapes?

[00:08:19] Christian Slupe: So down here in Lakeridge in Claremont, Florida, we usually harvest around the first month of August. It might push a day or 2 each year, but it's usually that 1st week of August that we're picking those grapes were trying to harvest about 100 tons a day. And it's all a mechanical process. It's a great harvester that actually straddles the grape vines over the row, and they're beater bars between it that are just shaking the grapes off.

They're going on a conveyor and getting filled up into a 1 time bands, which are immediately going up and getting processed. The other acres that we have up on the panhandle usually gets harvested. A week to a week and a half after we finish at Lakeridge. So it times out. They're a little bit behind us as far as growth and whatnot.

But we're still doing 100 tons a day up there. So we're still we're getting 5 truckloads down here a day and processing them as soon as they come into the Winery and Vineyards. During that pretty much entire month of August, 3 to 4 weeks of harvest, we're running 24 hours a day processing those grapes and making sure that they're getting cooled down.

Once we get them off the vines and the fermentation process starts relatively quickly. Once we get them off the vines,

[00:09:30] Mike Roth: So you're doing all of the crushing and processing at Lakeridge,

[00:09:34] Christian Slupe: correct. Yep. So everything, all the processing side of stuff is actually done at Lakeridge. So that's where our main bottling line is our main processing. So every bottle that we produce between Lakeridge winery and San Sebastian winery is actually processed as well as bottle that Lakeridge. So it's similar wines, same wines and a lot of cases but just different labels and we're bottling it and then sending it over to San Sebastian as they have a limited space over there.

[00:10:03] Mike Roth: right? So this is great timing because people are hearing this in July. They'll know to come out there in August to see the grape crushing.

[00:10:12] Christian Slupe: It's a really cool time and It's hot. I understand that it's a

tough time to come out, right? It's central Florida in August, but it really is a cool time to come out. So we'll make sure we've got it posted on the website and our social media when we're actually harvesting to see that harvester running through the fields and have those grapes come up and actually see them in person.

Getting processed is. Something that a lot of wineries don't showcase really all over the world. So it's a really cool process to see them come up from the fields, get processed, you're seeing the wine come out of the presses. Essentially it's not wine at that point. It's considered juice at that

[00:10:52] Mike Roth: Grape 

[00:10:53] Christian Slupe: But it's quickly going into the tank to become wine, but it's really an outstanding process to come and witness. If you can come and see the harvest to run and the whole process go down. So also in August, we're going to do a harvest weekends at the Winery and Vineyards. So it'll be. A celebration of us getting the grapes off of the vine.

It's a year long process for us to get to them to that point. And we'll have a grape stomp out there every weekend, which I know is a fan favorite. We've been asked, we did it last year, but the weather wasn't. Very good last year, but we're really going to promote it this year and would love to see everyone out there.

We've, I've got a picture of me when I was four or five years old in a barrel doing the grape stomp at the winery and it's nostalgic. So I might have to throw that out to social media to show people and we'll come see me 20 years later doing the grape stomp now, but it's really a cool thing to do.

We'll do the grape stomp. We'll have some food trucks out there. We'll have live music, a full bar with all of our wine and beers and et cetera, but it'll be a great time. So we're excited to, to celebrate our harvest there.

[00:12:03] Mike Roth: Good, good. 

What is your daily workday like at the winery, Christian?

[00:12:08] Christian Slupe: So it's much different than public accounting. I'll tell you that to, to start off. I worked in public accounting for 3 or so years. My granddad actually did it for much longer. He was, he ended up becoming a partner, one of his CPA firms before he started the Winery and Vineyards. So I kind took after him to start in the accounting field, but I was spending majority of my day behind the computer now it's a little bit behind the computer and I'm helping out with some of the accounting stuff, but it's really a lot of hands on I've spent time doing pretty much everything at the Winery and Vineyards.

So a day. It's different every single time I walk into the winery and depending on what's going on that day, if they need help in the vineyard, I go out there and help them observe if there's anything that they need assistance with or any training on anything like that. We've got an awesome production team that's bottling using, utilizing the bottling line.

We're in the process of making some upgrades there. So I've been utilized in that aspect. But a lot of just overseeing operations, walking around, seeing anything that we can. Change to improve our guests.

[00:13:12] Mike Roth: What is the distribution of your wine outside of the winery?

[00:13:16] Christian Slupe: Yeah. So we we work with a wholesale distributor that distributes our wine all over Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. So really any Publix, Walmart targets, any of those big grocery retailers, you're going to be able to find our wine in them. It's awesome to be able to go to the store and be able to pick up a bottle of our wine.

But we also love to see people in person. We offer some great case discounts. We've got a wine of the month every month that changes that's an increased discount on those cases of wine. But just love to see our customers in person, even if they're not coming and wanting to do a tour. If they just want to come in and buy a case we love seeing our customers in person and be able to talk to them and offer them anything that we've maybe got.

Yeah. That might be coming down the pipeline. That's relatively new or any new events or anything going on. It's best to find those out in person, but we love seeing our customers in person there at the Winery and Vineyards.

[00:14:08] Mike Roth: Yeah. So if someone had tasted your wine, who was a snowbird and they wanted To buy more of it and they live in Texas or California or in New York Do you ship the wine?

[00:14:18] Christian Slupe: Yes, sir. Yeah. So it's, it honestly changes about every week, the laws. So it's actually not our laws. In Florida, it's the laws within the other states. So it's constantly changing which states we can ship to and how many cases we can ship to each one. It's all on our website and we're updating that as soon as we get any new regulations. I think currently we're able to ship to 26 states, but it changes. So often, but give us a call or go on our website. We keep the states that we can ship to and the amount of cases that we can update it all the time. And our same discounts are offered on our website shipments as they are. If you just walk into the Winery and Vineyards.

So. You're getting a 20% case discount all the time. If you're getting one to two cases, three cases or more, it's 25% off each case. And then if it's our wine of the month it's 25% off that wine for a case. And then 30% if you're getting three or more cases. But the same discounts are offered online as they are in our storefront.

So at San Saba Winery or Lakeridge Winery and Vineyards.

[00:15:23] Mike Roth: Great. Let's take a short break and listen to a Alzheimer's tip from Dr Craig Curtis. 

So if one of our listeners want to go to one of your seminars that you put on regularly, how do they make a reservation to do that? The easiest way is to go to our website, which is www. craigcurtismd. com or call our office at 352 500 5252. Thanks, Dr. Curtis. 

[00:15:49] Warren: Thank you, Mike.

[00:16:06] Mike Roth: Christian the winery, do you have any special festivals for particular types of grapes or other activities?

[00:16:16] Christian Slupe: So we've got a couple of things in the pipeline, and one of which I have not. Really told anyone else about. So you all listeners are gonna be the first to hear about it and it's an exciting thing. So I obviously spoke a little bit about the harvest Festival that we're gonna have with the grape stomping, which is an awesome thing, especially to bring your kids out.

It's or grandkids. It's a free thing for the grandkids and kids to do. gonna

charge. take your grandkids

Yeah,

[00:16:44] Mike Roth: and you're going to let them get into a barrel and stop grace. 

Lucille Ball did.

[00:16:48] Christian Slupe: that's what, yes, sir. And I'll have to send you a picture of me doing when I was a little kid. It's a timeless picture, but the kids love it. I know it's a bit of a weird sensation when you're getting in that and actually stepping on the grapes, but it makes for a memory. And I look back at that picture and it's a really cool experience and something that, not a lot of wineries often nowadays, but we'd love to see. As many families and kids and whatnot out there. It's a really cool thing.

[00:17:12] Mike Roth: Do they have to put on special clothing or plastic 

[00:17:15] Christian Slupe: I would advise not to wear white. That would be my only suggestion.

[00:17:19] Mike Roth: Yeah. Unless you're crushing a white wine of grape.

[00:17:24] Christian Slupe: It'll be, it'll likely be a mix of red and white. I'm not gonna say we're gonna stomp white on one day. I would just stay away from white. But it's not a super messy thing, but it's a fun activity. We we'll put eight barrels up at once, but if we wanna do. We'll do a kind of a one off competition between a family.

If it's a family of four, see who can get the most juice out of the grapes. And the winner will get a t shirt or if it's a kid, they'll get a cool little trinket of some sort, but it'll be a cool family event for people to come out and experience. That's really a. A special time of year. It's a relief for us to get those grapes off of the vine.

We worked all year to get them to where they're the perfect harvestable fruit. And so we're all having a good time and just celebrating getting them harvested and processed and in the tank to become one of the delicious wines that we produce.

[00:18:19] Mike Roth: I understand you're doing something like a drone show. Could you tell our listeners that's all about?

[00:18:24] Christian Slupe: Yes, sir. So y'all listeners will be the first to hear about this depending on when this does get released, but it's a really cool event that hasn't really been explained to many people. So we've got some drone shows that are in the pipeline. A lot of people might not be familiar with what that is.

It's essentially. six to 800 drones that are going in the sky and putting on a crazy show and they can animate really anything. So they're going to custom do some stuff that's more wine based. And for us here at the winery, and we're going to have a couple of those beginning of fall. We don't have the dates a hundred percent nailed down, but they are coming.

It's going to be a really cool and really large event. So we're going to have

food trucks out there,

[00:19:06] Mike Roth: 800 drones? So

[00:19:08] Christian Slupe: 800 drones. And it's all done by the press of a button. It's really very impressive. They, but it goes up, there's music tied to it. There's narration tied to it. It's really a show in the sky that. is unbeatable and it's, you think fireworks are cool. Wait till you see this. That's

[00:19:26] Mike Roth: this is going to be at the dark

[00:19:28] Christian Slupe: Correct. So it'll be just after dusk and we'll do the two shows, but we'll have live music leading up to it and make a couple of nights out of it. It'll be a really cool event.

I'm extremely excited about it. The company that we've been working with is really awesome. And The shows, once we do release the dates and release everything I'll show some pictures of shows that they've done and some shows that they've done for us that are just amazing. It's really cool.

[00:19:53] Mike Roth: So the crowds are in one place, and the drones are over the fields of grapevines.

[00:19:59] Christian Slupe: Correct. Yep. So the drones will be right over our grapevines and with the backdrop that we've got a lake right behind us.

So they'll be right over that. If we do it around dusk, it'll be a really cool picturesque moment. We'll have a couple different viewing areas for it, but. We're extremely excited about that.

It's going to be a really cool event and something that we've never done. That's something we've, 

[00:20:21] Mike Roth: year.

[00:20:22] Christian Slupe: correct. Early fall is what I can tell you right now. And then I will. Everything will be posted on social media or on our website as far as dates when that does get released. But we've never, unfortunately, been able to do any fireworks or any really big celebrations at the winery due to the litter that goes under the vines or anything like that.

So this is very eco friendly change to that, that we're able to do and celebrate something that's over the vines. High in the sky. It's really cool. We're excited about that. So we've got that going on and we we just hired a new winemaker. So our previous winemaker was actually the first employee that was ever hired at our company. She was with us for 41 years. Jeannie Burgess, I'll have to give her a shout out. She's an amazing person, amazing winemaker. The longest employee that we've had to date. And she retired and we have a new winemaker named Andrew Meggett. So he's actually from a larger winery out of Missouri called St.

James Winery and Vineyards. He has a lot of experience with various wines and blends. So he is bringing in a new wine, which is a Savion Blanc, which is one of the first new wines we've brought in probably eight or 10 years. It's very asked about, it's the new wave is this Savion Blanc. So he's bringing that in.

It's in the tanks right now. He's blending it. Potentially by the time this podcast gets released it'll be available, but we're very excited to, to offer that as something new. And he's got Some other tricks up his sleeve with bringing in some different wines. We've been stagnant a little bit in the past 10 years to stick to what we've got people love it, but it's always nice to have something that's a little bit different, a little bit one off, so we're very excited to bring

[00:22:04] Mike Roth: It was always good. Yeah. Yeah. How long do you keep the wine in the tanks?

[00:22:09] Christian Slupe: so the majority of the wine, the stuff, so we do bring in some wines in from California and Washington, so those are going to be our Napa Valley Cabernet, our house Cabernet. We've got a Pinot Grigio and a Chardonnay. 

But those will stay typically in the tanks a little bit longer. Our muscadine harvest that we have, so our red and our white base it's three different muscadine grapes that we grow. So it's a noble, which is our red grape. And then a Welder and a Carlos, which is our white grapes. Those typically only stay in the tank for about a year.

So we're essentially rotating it on a year basis. So this time of year, up until that beginning of August, we're bottling as much as we can to pretty much empty the tanks to essentially make room for our new harvest.

[00:22:55] Mike Roth: harvest go in the same 

[00:22:56] Christian Slupe: correct. 

[00:22:57] Mike Roth: and you have to have time the tanks in between.

[00:22:59] Christian Slupe: there's time to clean them and yeah, but we've got roughly 500, 000 gallons of tank capacity at the winery, which is. About 2. 6 million bottles worth of capacity, but we are on pretty much a solid rotation to empty those out to make room for our harvests in August. So it's, they usually stay in the tank for about nine to 11 months is really the average. Sometimes we bought a little bit earlier. But as soon as we do harvest, say a red or a white wine it's, and it's put into the tanks, it can be a finished wine in six to eight weeks. That's how quick the fermentation process is with the natural sugar that's found on the muscadine grape. It makes the fermentation process very quick and very easy, which is nice for us.

[00:23:47] Mike Roth: Do you add extra sugar to the, to your wines?

[00:23:50] Christian Slupe: We add a little bit of extra sugar. So the natural sugar that's found on our muscadine grapes can usually get us to a seven to 8 percent alcohol base. So essentially when you're adding sugar to a wine it's fermenting an alcohol. So we're adding a little bit more to, to get the alcohol up to where it's more of a standard wine, around 11 percent alcohol.

So we are adding a little bit. The natural sweetness from the muscadine really carries over though into the wine, it's not a ton of. added sugar where it's more of a syrupy consistency. It's really the natural sugar from the muscat and it's taking over on that aspect.

[00:24:27] Mike Roth: Briefly, could you outline for our listeners what the winemaking process is there at Lakeridge?

[00:24:34] Christian Slupe: Yeah, I'll go through it and I'll give you the cliff notes real quick. So we're receiving the vines and we're receiving the vines they're called bare root. So it just looks like a bare root. There's no soil that are included with the vines when we receive them. And they're two to three years old when we're receiving them. We're planning them and we're just training them up the trellis. Our goal, the first year of growth is to pretty much get them to the wire and. Have them start covering the wire a little bit. So at two to three years old, they've still got three to four years before they put on a harvestable fruit.

So really we're looking five to six years before these vines are actually putting on a harvestable fruit at that point. We're going to be harvesting the grapes. They're coming off of that. We're bringing them up as soon as we're harvesting them. They're going straight into our auger, which is putting them down into a crusher de- stemmer.

So the white wines are going immediately into the press where they're getting pressed out in the juice. The juice is going straight into the tanks. The red grapes will go actually bypass the press and they'll go into a tank where they'll sit for three or four days. So that's, what's going to actually extract that red color is them. Sitting on the skins of the grapes, at that point, we'll what we perform is what we call a dig out. So it's going to go back into the presses and then we'll press the juice out. And they'll go through the same process as the whites. From there, our winemaker is letting it settle for a few days to a week.

And that's when we're going to before something perform something called racking, which is essentially removing all the impurities off of the bottom of the tank. Any sediment that's settled, anything like that, we're pulling that off. From there, she's going to start doing her additions and. start fermenting from that point.

So it's a relatively quick process. Once we get them off of the vine to start actually bottling them and producing them. So once, once they're fermented, they can be put in a bottle as quick as 10 to 11 weeks. But we try and keep some of it on hand supply us the whole year. So we'll keep in the tanks as long as we can so that it's as fresh of a product as possible. possible when they're picking it up off the shelves.

[00:26:37] Mike Roth: Is the winery participating in any conservation efforts?

[00:26:41] Christian Slupe: Yeah. So it's a big thing for us is all the conservation that we try to do. So everything in the vineyard is done on a drip irrigation system. So it's the plants just have a couple of emitters is what we call them above the plant and around the roots. And it's just, doing small drops of water onto them.

They don't need a ton of water. They're native to the south. As I told you earlier, they were found here by the Spanish settlers in the 1560s. So they're native here. They're really bulletproof. We don't have to use any insecticides or anything like that, which

we're very proud of. Yep. Correct. We're using something like one 10th of the water that we would use if there was home sites on the piece of property.

So we're proud about that. And. consistently trying to look at ways to emit any sprays that we're doing on. We really don't spray much at all. They're very hardy and we're proud about that.

[00:27:29] Mike Roth: Do you guys harvest any of the rainwater that comes down here in this time of year?

[00:27:33] Christian Slupe: This time of year, the past month, we haven't had much rain at all, which has been a bit of a bummer. So hopefully it picks back up. We haven't done anything with any of the rainwater, but if we, when we do start to get quite a bit of rain, we might only cut back to water potentially once a week.

And we're talking drips of water on these vines. They really don't need much, which. We're very proud of and we're not doing much to alter anything as far as spraying them or anything like that.

[00:27:59] Mike Roth: That's great.
