otes have been tallied and it's time to reveal the winners of Vineyard & Winery Management's fourth annual Best Wine Industry Suppliers survey. This year, we received close to 700 responses, spanning 25 catego- ries and featuring voter comments to enhance winner descriptions. There are ties in a few of the categories, and vot- ing was so close in others that some- times the dividing line between the best and the runner-up was decided by only one or two votes. One thing that became immediately clear is that customer service is on top as far as what impresses people the most. It's truly a testament to the importance of developing long-lasting business relationships. Another oft- used term was "quality" when it came to products and services. People were especially thoughtful about describing their favorite suppliers, and all the com- ments were a testament to excellent businesses. Congratulations to all the winners! OUR FOURTH-ANNUAL SURVEY RESULTS ARE IN! 4 0 V I N E YA R D & W I N E RY M A N A G E M E N T | M a r - A p r 2 016 w w w. v w m m e d i a . c o m
