  • Transaction Costs, Capabilities and Grape Procurement Strategies In
    TRANSACTION COSTS, CAPABILITIES AND GRAPE PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES IN U.S. EMERGING WINE REGIONS Bruno Varella Miranda PhD Candidate Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics University of Missouri 327 Mumford Hall Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone: +1-573-529-5420 Email: [email protected] Fabio Ribas Chaddad Associate Professor University of Missouri Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics 125 Mumford Hall Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone: +1-573-882-0155 Email: [email protected] Abstract: What are the drivers of grape procurement strategies in U.S. emerging wine regions? Are these choices constrained by the same factors as in established wine areas? This paper uses a mixed-methods approach to discuss the "make-or-buy" decisions of small American wineries from five states: Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New York and Vermont. Departing from the existing empirical literature on grape procurement strategies in the wine industry, we argue that the study of organizational decisions in American nascent clusters has to consider both their structural characteristics and the features of their participants. Based on semi-structured interviews with Missouri winery owners, we argue that, given the heterogeneity in the bundles of capabilities and resources owned by firms from emerging areas, a rationale exclusively inspired by Oliver Williamson's transaction cost economics is insufficient to explain grape procurement strategies. The evidence presented here is consistent with the view that knowledge plays a decisive role in boundary decisions. Also, the results point out to the importance of informal ties in the governance of the transactions carried out by the wineries in the sample. In special, trust appears to be an essential supporting mechanism in the governance of less coordinated exchanges, reflecting the constraints faced by many firms to devise complex formal arrangements.

  • Garden State Wine Makers Make Taste Buds an Offer They Can’T Refuse the New York Post by CARLA SPARTOS
    Garden State Wine Makers Make Taste Buds an Offer They Can’t Refuse The New York Post By CARLA SPARTOS Last Updated: 3:25 AM, June 9, 2010 Posted: 4:37 PM, June 7, 2010 WHAT exit is that bottle from? Utter the words “New Jersey wine” and you’ll hear all sorts of wisecracks. But after a weekend road trip exploring a handful of some of the state’s 40 or so wineries, I happily discovered that New Jersey is making vino that transcends the punch line to a tired Joe Piscopo joke. Far from turning out mass-produced plonk, a la Thunderbird, producers are growing quality estate-produced wines. So, where to begin? The state has two distinct growing regions roughly divided into the farmland of the north and the coastal region of the south. Still, wineries are haphazardly strewn about, making it difficult to pinpoint an obvious travel route. My trip involved traversing much of the rural farmland of central New Jersey (for help planning your trip, check out newjerseywines.com). Checking the stock at Unionville Vineyard in New Jersey. Photo: Real house wines of New Jersey, Photograph by Unionville’s Assistant Winemaker Stephen D. Johnsen. Geography isn’t the only confusing aspect. The North Fork is known for its merlot, the Finger Lakes for its riesling and as for New Jersey? It’s experimenting with a wide array of varietals so plan to taste a lot of wine to find out who excels at what. My first stop was Alba Vineyard in Milford, a haven for cyclists and a short drive from the scenic Delaware River.
