(It\u0026#39;s the best version of our Virginia Brandy collaboration yet… ❤️) An absolutely wonderful night celebrating a successful 2025 harvest in Virginia wine.

After honing her craft in the lab and cellar at Michael Shaps Wineworks, she launched her independent label to focus on creating approachable, terroir-driven wines meant to encourage people to linger longer and connect over meals.

Joy Ting Research Enologist. Joy\u0026#39;s first job in the wine industry came after a fateful dinner with Michael Shaps in 2013. A teacher at the time, she inquired how things were going at the winery and Michael replied that he needed a lab tech before the next harvest. Six months later, her adventure began. While at Wineworks she had the opportunity to train under several noted Virginia winemakers including Michael Shaps, Ben Jordan and Jake Busching before taking on the role herself in 2016. While at Wineworks, Joy participated in WRE by attending tastings and doing experiments in flotation and micro-oxygenation. In 2018, the opportunity arose to combine her love of teaching, background in research science (she earned a PhD in applied biology from Georgia Tech) and desire to expand her winemaking knowledge by joining the staff of the WRE. Since then, Joy has worked with winemakers from around the Commonwealth to craft and execute experiments and share those results with the larger community of wine producers. As the Research Enologist, Joy gets an in depth view of all the innovative approaches being tested.\u0026quot;,null,\u0026quot;Winemakers Research Exchange\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/faviconV2?url\\u003dhttps:\/\/wre.aftonmountaintech.com\\u0026client\\u003dAIM\\u0026size\\u003d128\\u0026type\\u003dFAVICON\\u0026fallback_opts\\u003dTYPE,SIZE,URL\u0026quot;,[[1781268002078277,89723497,3374418317],null,null,null,null,[[0,11]]],null,\u0026quot;515ef059-77a2-4e07-877a-82c6dc418577\u0026quot;]]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.
