Our Story

Simply put, our enthusiasm for great wine has evolved into a commitment to handcrafting outstanding wine that reminds us of some of the most important moments in our lives. Our focus is to create small lots of brilliant wines that individually, have their own story, pair well with avariety of foods and are enthusiastically enjoyed on their own. 

It all began in early 2005 while residing on the East Coast. During this period, both Michelle and I had jobs at a high tech firm working in sales and engineering. While we both loved wine and collected some of the best produced wine we could find over the years, we sought after more ways to become involved in the process of making wine. It seemed as if each bottle we opened with family or friends created a new memorable experience for us and they became stories. This linkage was one of the things we loved about wine, the appreciation of wine and the art of the story.

We often enjoyed different varietals and styles of wines and the dream of creating our own began to flourish.  In a drive to educate ourselves about the creation of wines we traveled to the West Coast . Our first goal was to learn as much as we could about viticulture and enology; Napa Valley held up to its reputation as being one of the best places in the world to accessibly discover the world of winemaking.

Our second goal, was to determine how far we would take this desire to handcraft wines based our experiences and determine if winemaking was a lifestyle we were well suited for. After much research during the summer of 2005, we started our first Cabernet project with fruit sourced from Beckerstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard in St. Helena and never looked back. 

As of 2011, we have increased our wine production by 2000% with only two varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc). Our drive and enthusiasm allows us to lead this bi-coastal lifestyle and has enabled us to expand our distribution to reach more people who truly love wine. We travel frequently between coasts to stay on top of production and are intimately involved in the entire winemaking process. Our mission is to create remarkable wines while at the same time creating beautiful, long-lasting memories.

As we have begun a family of our own, we now have an appreciation of how our passion for wine has expanded to a family business that will live and grow for generations to come. It is a wonderful feeling to create something you love. It’s even more amazing to be able to share that creation with friends and family. We welcome you to enjoy our wine and are grateful that we are able to share this incredible endeavor with all of you.

We look forward to further growing our business and hope that you will join us on our journey.
