Let’s take a look at comments made by Palm Valley Capital about Crimson Wine Group Ltd (OTCMKTS:CWGL) in the Q2 2019 investor letter.

“Crimson Wine Group produces premium wines from California, Oregon, and Washington. The firm owns six vineyards and wineries in Napa, Sonoma, and other top winegrowing districts. Over the past several years, the company has experienced contracting margins as a result of brisk increases in grape prices. Crimson sources two-thirds of its grapes from independent growers. However, the value of Crimson’s prime acreage has continued to appreciate, particularly in Napa Valley, where land is scarce. We believe Crimson sells for a discount to the value of its vineyards, wineries, and inventory.”
