At BMI, we understand the critical role HVAC systems play in the winemaking process. Our partnership with Robert Hall Winery has allowed us to help them meet their unique mechanical needs, ensuring their production runs smoothly—even in the most challenging conditions. Don Brady, the Director of Winemaking, shares how BMI has been there for Robert Hall Winery when they needed us the most.
Cooling Systems for Winemaking Success
Robert Hall Winery, located in the Paso Robles area, depends on its mechanical systems to control the temperature during the winemaking process. With an 80-ton chiller in their facility, it’s crucial to maintain a stable environment. As Don explains, “When we ferment grapes, the grapes produce heat and CO2, and we need to remove that heat to keep fermentation from getting too hot.” By maintaining a consistent temperature and removing CO2, we help extend the life of their product and ensure a smooth fermentation process.
Reliable Support During Heat Waves
This past summer, the extreme heat in Paso Robles put a strain on Robert Hall’s chiller. Don recalls how their cooling system struggled to keep up, especially in the late afternoon when temperatures peaked. But when things got tough, we were there to help. “BMI was here to help us,” Don says. “Brad came at 10 o’clock at night and let me go home. He made sure to call me back later because there were multiple incidents.” Our team’s dedication to solving problems, no matter the time of day, gave Don peace of mind and allowed him to rest after long days of winemaking.
A Partnership Built on Trust
Our team at BMI takes great pride in being a reliable partner for Robert Hall Winery. Our commitment to showing up when needed, even in challenging conditions, is what sets us apart. As Don puts it, “It was great to be able to call Brad and get his help when I’d been working for 12 hours already.”
