Users of OenoDev products are welcome at monthly user Club meetings, and are encouraged to bring wines for tasting and discussion. Oxygenation is only one aspect of an overall plan for elevage that is the ongoing focus of the Vinovation/OenoDev collaboration which seeks understanding of the structure, age and color of the wine and its interactions with oxygen, oak, and lees.

1. Basic Implementation is required for all new users...............$1,000 (One Time)

First time clients receive the following first-year support:

• Assistance in installation.

• Initial staff training.

• Unlimited telephone support.

• Tasting reviews for samples delivered to Vinovation.

• Review of first year results.

2. Optional Full Service Support is also available, which may require dozens of visits by our staff to your facility per year. Teaching and Training in our system of monitoring via sensory evaluation as well as familiarity with equipment operation requires 1 - 3 years. Ongoing Treatment Supervision for oxygenation and related elevage techniques can greatly reduce labor demands, optimize results and prevent difficulties. Our specialists bring a high degree of focus, skill and experience for a small fraction of the cost for dedicated in-house enologist labor.

Full Service Support Retainer..............................................................$3,500 per year

      (Includes Basic Implementation for first-year clients at no additional charge.)

Clients receive full support for all wines from a single vintage. The number of tanks is unlimited, as long as our visits are confined to a single facility. Activities include:

• All aspects of Basic Implementation (see above).

• Evaluation of wines for treatment will be conducted and recommendations made concerning selection, pre-blending and treatment regimen.

• Visits by Vinovation personnel as required throughout the year to ensure proper work. This usually involves twice/week during the pre-SO₂ color stabilization phase, twice per month during post SO₂ structuration, and once a month during harmonization. During each visit, treatment parameters will be checked (equipment operation, O₂ supply, wine dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity) and a multi-point sensory profile will be recorded for each wine under treatment.

For clients outside a 50 mile radius of Santa Rosa, additional travel costs will be proposed as part of all support contracts.
