"Over-supply is always a present danger for the wine industry," Miller said. "It's easy to over-plant. When you get a surge in demand for a variety in the region, everyone plants ¡ª they don't pay attention to what others are planting. You have to know how to sell the volume and have a concrete and reasonable plan before you add capacity."
