Shea A.J. Comfort, Consultant-Winemaker
Working With You To Improve Your Wines!
Welcome to the Home of The YeastWhisperer!
I specialize in working with start-up and existing small wine producers, both amateur and professional. I’ll work with you to develop the techniques needed to create the style of wine you have in mind.
Over the past 10 years, I have made wine in lots ranging from 1-gallon jugs to 1,600-gallon tanks. Wine volume does not equal importance. Whether we will be working on a single carboy or a cellar full of tanks and barrels, my goal will always be the same: helping you to make the best wine possible.
For any topic or technique we cover, I will always make sure you understand the steps needed from a theoretical and practical point of view so you can confidently use this knowledge on your own. I do on-site visits and am always available by phone!
Advising all aspects of winemaking including:
• Balancing/correcting musts pre-ferment
• Using oxygen to shape/structure wines
• Yeast & Bacteria pairing
• Improving fruit profile, colour stability,
overall complexity and positive mouthfeel
characteristics
• Improving wines during ageing
• Guided tasting trials
• Blending
Please take a moment to look through my website and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I look foreward to working with you!

"...Shea, when I compare the Pinot Noir
that I made on my own to the one that you helped me craft from the
start, the differences are phenomenal. Mine seems flat and uninviting
and our new one has the qualities that you’d expect from a fine
Burgundy – I couldn’t be more pleased..." more client responses
