Nevada’s Wine Industry A Letter from Lt. Governor Brian K. Krolicki

We are fortunate to live in a state with a high quality of life, abundant natural resources and a strong economy. As Nevada’s economy continued to expand and diversify in 2007, there were ample opportunities for growth and development available for many of Nevada’s business owners. Indeed, 2007 was an outstanding year for the companies that call Nevada home.

Currently, the businesses that make and sell products in Nevada are the most diverse in the history of our state. As Lieutenant Governor and Chairman of the Nevada Commission on Economic Development, I am proud of the care and attention to quality that Nevada businesses devote to their products. As these products enter the global marketplace, people from all over the world can now have an opportunity to enjoy them as well.

This issue of Nevada Spirit Magazine includes the Made in Nevada holiday gift catalog, which features many of the Nevada businesses that work hard to ensure our economy remains robust. As you shop for gifts this holiday season, I encourage you to look for the Made in Nevada brand.

Warmest holiday wishes,

Brian K. Krolicki Lieutenant Governor By Carol Infranca

Pioneers in Nevada’s winemaking industry have been quietly determining the best grapes for the state’s regional climates. They were involved in research for years before the first vines were planted. Now they’re producing award-winning wines.

Concord grapes to lure Reno residents for Napa-style tree-lined road off Highway 95, seven were planted near the original Douglas Mansion Frey Sr. bought. Now those two grape vines are 65-years-old and they produced more than 40 gallons of juice this year. When the Frey’s first considered growing grapes, they did a lot of research and got help from the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension. The university had been growing grapes in Reno for some time and had a good idea about what type of grapes would do well in Fallon. Grape vines take years to mature and produce grapes for wine. Those years have been a learning process for the Frey family. One of the first things they learned is the grapes utilize only 10 percent of the water Frey’s other crops use. “We have four white grape varieties that are doing really well,” Debbie Frey explains. “White Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Semillon and Chardonnay.” The red grape vines are taking longer to mature but the ones that are working for the Frey’s are: Merlot, Pinot Noir and Lemberger. The family got their grape vines from eastern Washington, a celebrated wine-producing region, because of the similarity in climates. The Frey family harvests the grapes, crushes them, produces the wine and bottles it for sale. Priced between $12 and $20, the 7,000 bottles of wine sell out quickly. “Because our reds aren’t ready yet, we buy grapes from California to provide red wine for our customers,” Colby Frey explains. “We have to say the grapes to produce the red wines are from California.” Colby says Churchill Vineyards is the first licensed winery in Churchill County and it has the only distillery license in the entire state. Churchill Vineyards proudly produces brandy and vodka too, but it’s not for sale quite yet. They’ve made brandy out of some hybrid grapes that combine European wine grapes and easy-to-grow American grapes. They’ve made vodka out of apples and cantaloupe. “Anything with alcohol can be distilled,” Colby explains. “We’ve even made cantaloupe brandy.” The Frey’s say they aren’t big enough for regular wine tours or open tasting rooms so far, but interested folks can call 775-423-4000 and set up a private tour.

While Tahoe Ridge has numerous wine awards, Halbardier says he “doesn’t get hung up on them.” According to the winemaker, “We’re driven by the fact we sell out of our entire wine production each year.

Soon construction will begin on the new Tahoe Ridge at the historic Van Sickle Station Ranch (established in 1851) that will give the winery a whole new look.

Located just about a mile away from its current Genoa location, total build out on the 25- acre, $25 million Tahoe Ridge project will be complete in 2018. The new Tahoe Ridge will include the winery production facility, the tasting room, gift shop and deli meat shop, estate vineyards, artisan/crafters village, guest cottages, a museum; herb, vegetable and perennial gardens and a culinary cooking school.

American AVK Relocates to Minden, Nevada

But the company’s production output is not of planning and a long search for a more permanent limited to fire hydrants. American AVK also supplies production facility. “The community of Minden, all of northern Nevada, the Northern Nevada Development Authority, the local officials from various government agencies, even the Lieutenant governor—we received tremendous support from all of them.” Don Emery AVK Public Relations

Relocating the company’s home base from Fresno, California to Minden was a complicated logistical operation, explains Don Emery, American AVK’s public relations director. “The offer from Nevada, and particularly from Minden, had to be superb because the move is enormous,” Emery explains. “It’s a far different operation than it would be to stay in the same city and move down the street to a bigger plant. Nevada, and Minden specifically, gave us a lot of good, positive reasons to make that decision.” The new 180,000 square foot Nevada facility provides ample space for American AVK that simply wasn’t available in Fresno. As available space at the Fresno plant became more limited, and as the company’s broad base of national and international customers continued to grow, the need for the Minden facility became clear. As Emery explains, “we looked around in Fresno, but found that we weren’t really getting a lot of support or help and we didn’t find the right fit for the new factory. And as you are well aware, California could be a lot more business friendly. The company also looked at Arizona, but once they got to Minden, everything began to fall into place, particularly due to the support they received from just about everybody there.” Of course, Nevada’s favorable workman’s compensation program and corporate tax incentives were attractive as well, and with ample room to accommodate a growing business, Nevada was the most fiscally sound destination for American AVK’s move. But it was really the welcoming community of Nevadans that made the move desirable: “The community of Minden, all of northern Nevada, the Northern Nevada Development Authority, the local officials from various government agencies, even the lieutenant governor—we received tremendous support from all of them. It was just a very pleasant experience and by far the best reception we’ve received in any of the locations we were considering.” High Desert Dreams

As the Cost of Doing Business Increases Nationwide, Many Companies Are Relocating to Business-Friendly Nevada.

In 2004, Joe Dutra, the founder of Kimmie Candy Company, faced a difficult decision. Dutra, a long-time California resident and entrepreneur, wanted to relocate the production side of his candy company from Korea back to the United States. But with the rising costs associated with an ever-dwindling supply of California real estate, it was not economically feasible to build a candy factory in Sacramento, where Kimmie Candy was then headquartered. “We wanted to expand a little bit somewhere between fifteen and twenty thousand square feet,” Dutra explains, “and there just weren’t options available to us in California.”

For Dutra and his team of loyal, family-oriented employees—some of whom had been with the company since its inception—the idea of moving out of Sacramento presented daunting challenges. “We’re from an old farming family in the Sacramento area. We farmed around the Sacramento area and we still have a historical home down there. There’s a history there, and the people who worked for me were a part of an old community that itself has a lot of history in Sacramento, so it was difficult for us to consider moving to Reno. But I wanted to have more control over my destiny.” For Dutra, controlling the National recognition for Kimmie capital gains taxes for businesses. destiny of Kimmie Candy meant Candy Company means a cover Workers’ compensation rates are choosing the most economically photo and feature profile this month significantly lower than in other states viable location for producing panned in Candy Industry Magazine, the (as much as 75% lower), and captive candies, which require a very low- premiere industry magazine for candy insurance programs are competitive humidity environment.

It’s also Weisinger, executive director of the Northern Nevada all about the quality of our product. Development Authority (NNDA), said. “That’s why Everyone knows us.” Taiyo has such a share of the market.” Taiyo America’s popularity is evidenced by its more than 75 percent market share in the United States. And with 50 percent market share worldwide, Taiyo is one of only 15 solder mask manufacturers and it serves some of the biggest names in the industry. Nokia, Motorola, Dell, Intel, Apple, Ford, General Motors and Toyota are on Taiyo America’s customer roster. “We have an extensive list of end users for our products,” Bob White, Taiyo America business affairs manager, said. “From satellites down to submarines, and anything in between, our product is in it. If it has a circuit board in it, it’s most likely one of our customers.” With new technology comes new demands from customers, and Taiyo America aims to design products to fill those needs. Technology of the future is one of many focuses for Taiyo, specifically solar technology. “We partner with big companies in research development, one being solar,” White said. “Anything that’s up-and-coming that hasn’t been done yet, we are there to help design it. And we’ve the got chemists and engineers to work with, hand-in-hand.” But advances in technology know no borders, and that’s why Taiyo America has become not only a significant competitor in the Americas, but a key player on a global scale. The U.S. Department of Commerce and the Foreign Trade Zone Board granted Taiyo America permission to operate a foreign trade zone in 2003. Since then, Taiyo America has been allowed to import raw materials, combine those with some domestic, and then pay the same duties on the finished product as foreign competitors pay to import them. Operating in a foreign trade zone saves money on importing raw goods and “gives us an edge for competing in a world market,” White said. With the help of the NNDA, Taiyo America recently welcomed Japanese Consul General Yasumasa Nagamine to its plant. Weisinger of the NNDA said Nagamine was “intrigued by the “No corporate income tax. No whole thing.” He also said it is the goal of the Consul General to increase trade personal tax. Plus a big thing to between the U.S. and Japan, “especially Taiyo is that there’s no inventory here in Nevada.” The Japanese are one tax in Nevada.” of the top four investors in the U.S., and 40 percent of foreign-owned companies in Nevada are Japanese-owned. On a local level, Taiyo America could be considered the “hidden hot spot” on the Nevada manufacturers map. Located on Antler Drive in Carson City in a 30,000 square-foot facility, Taiyo contributes to Nevada on many levels. “Taiyo is very community involved,” Weisinger said. Taiyo America President Dave Rund has served on the NNDA board of directors and balances a busy schedule filled with trips overseas and visits from officials such as the Japanese Consul General. Yet, Weisinger said, Rund has managed to gain control over the market. “It’s quite the accomplishment.” So why has Taiyo America chosen Nevada as its home base? Weisinger attributes the environment and Nevada’s business friendly tax structure. “No corporate income tax. No personal tax. Plus a big thing to Taiyo is that there’s no inventory tax in Nevada,” he said. Taiyo America’s end user needs are just as diverse as the customers themselves, which means Taiyo needs to keep a wide range of products in stock at all times. “It’s a good thing they don’t have to pay taxes on stock,” Weisinger said. Taiyo America is proof that great things come in small, solder mask-covered packages. Although it operates with a small staff in a relatively small facility, Taiyo America packs a big punch in its market. It also brings diversity to Nevada’s economy. “Everyone who works here can see how their contributions make a difference to the bottom line,” Vaughan said. “Taiyo is a great company.” Nevada Stories: Business Minutes KNPB Reporter Sherry Kuehl highlights Nevada businesses doing what they do best.
