Nevada Wine Cellars Inc., which operates Pahrump Valley Winery, has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Act protection, which permits the company to reorganize the debt and restructure. The company said it owes more than $1 million to its creditors.
In the fall of 2018, the Pahrump, Nev., winery completed a $1.7 million expansion, adding more than 7,000 square feet to its facilities and, with a new automated production and bottling, had the potential to increase its production to 40,000 cases from 9,500 cases. It generates about $4.3 million in sales, according to state records. Pahrump is about 62 miles west of Las Vegas.
