Preliminary Q&A
These questions will help us understand what type of a database that you are looking for. We will also use these questions as input data, to enrich the customer experience.

1. Is this a customer facing application?
It is, we want this application to be how our consumers know what wine is available, teach them about our wine, and even order there wine at our locations.

2. What types of wine do you make?
We make our own, and we also import from other wineries. We do not specialize in one kind of wine but rather try to carry a varied selection. These include white vines like: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Sauvignon Blanc. Red wines like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz. Since we are in the Northwest, though, we specialize in Pinot Noir, with our kinds varying.

3. What different ways do you grow your grapes?
We focus on Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes which are typically the way of growing our own varies depending on the weather which fluctuates a lot in the North West as you know. We do the typical things of putting our vines on a slope to drain the water, but also make sure to place them in an east to west slope for maximum sunshine.

4. How do you track your wine?
Well we were hoping your database would help us with that. We have specific rooms for each wine, with temperatures set for the different kinds of wine. This provides the best wine for our customer, but we want a more efficient way of retrieving it.

5. What do you want this database to do?
We want customers to be able to see what we have, understand what it is, place an order, and then make it simple for us to fetch it for them.

6. Where are the grapes grown?
Our personal grapes are from vineyards in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Yamhill Valley area. We cannot say the same for all of those we import because that varies, but they include France, Spain, Italy and from several different vineyards in each country.

7. Do import

    Most grapes come from cultivars of Vitis vinifera, the common grapevine; and its cultivation began approximately 6000 to 8000 years ago (B) (This et al., 2006). Grapes can be eaten raw and used for making wine, raisins, juices, jellies, vinegars, and seed oils (B). The grapevine has played an essential role in history, religion, and industry worldwide.
