What exactly does Six Sigma have to do with wine?

Six Sigma Winery employs Six Sigma principles to create the perfect blend of art and
science in every bottle of wine. The more we get to know you, our customer, the
better we understand your tastes and expectations of a high quality wine.

Is winemaking art or science?

to Kaj Ahlmann, it is both. He is in a position to know: Ahlmann is a practiced
mathematical statistician (he studied variance analysis in Copenhagen, Denmark,
under noted Danish statistician Anders Hald), and the owner of a vineyard in Northern
California.

The native Dane loves wine. He grew up around it as a child in Europe, enjoyed it as
a business student in France, and by his adult years had fixated on the Spanish
Tempranillo as a real champion grape. When he stepped down from his role as head
of GE's Employers Reinsurance Corp., he returned to the fruits of his childhood. In
2000, he and his wife, Else, bought 4,300 acres 10 miles from the Napa County-Lake
County line for a vineyard.

"When I started in the wine business, I wanted to produce a quality product," Ahlmann
said. "And I started from the top. 'Why don't we call this thing Six Sigma Ranch to
indicate that it's going to be a slightly different operation?' I looked at the entire
process, from doing the research before you plant the vineyard to producing the wine.
It's a very well-defined process, and in every step of the way you can actually apply
Six Sigma."

Kaj Ahlmann currently sells five wines on the market and by the end of 2008 plans to
sell seven wines that range from Cabernet Sauvignon to Sauvignon Blanc to his
beloved Tempranillo. Mr. Ahlmann will be a keynote speaker at the iSixSigma
Live! Summit '09 and will host the Six Sigma Wine Tasting Reception on Tuesday,
January 13, 2009, at the iSixSigma Live! Summit '09.
