![Who's your professional mentor? One of Winemaker Dave's first winemaking mentors is Joe Henke of @henkewinery in Cincinnati. Dave talked about Joe in an interview with @anatoli.l of Talk-A-Vino. Here's an excerpt of their chat (read the full interview via our IG profile link or at https://bellsupwinery.com/2019/07/07/talk-a-vino-interviews-bells-ups-dave-specter-in-feature-story/). #winemaker #winemaking #bellsupmoment .

[TaV]: Who are your winemaking mentors (if any)?
[DS]: First and foremost, Joe Henke of Henke Winery in Cincinnati. Joe took me under his wing as a basement winemaking hobbyist. He offered me a position as an unpaid cellar rat but promised he’d teach me everything he knew—open book—and he did. He even showed me his books because he wanted me to understand what he called “the good, the bad and the ugly of being a professional winemaker.” He’s an award-winning winemaker who makes 2,000 cases across roughly 15 different types of wines (including a phenomenal sparkling Chardonnay and an incredible Norton) in the basement of a 100-year-old house in an urban neighborhood with the bare essentials: barrels, a pump, a press, a pallet jack. I learned so much from him about the process of winemaking and the business of winemaking; that you don’t need a bunch of expensive equipment to make incredible wines. You just need to do a ton of cleaning. Amazing mentor.](http://scontent-mia3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/9b4f4c32c5b5cee025ab1287617ccd85/5DB8370B/t51.2885-15/e35/s150x150/65276925_127862658455537_3535800263129305758_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-1.cdninstagram.com "Who's your professional mentor?
