We can’t rhapsodize about having a vision for our vineyard while sipping wine curled up in front of a crackling fire. That usually only happens in the movies! Likewise, we can’t tell you about a grandfather who came from the old country with a grapevine in his pocket and a dream in his heart and a long family history in winemaking. What we can do, however, is tell you about our evolution from corporate careers to life in a vineyard.

We knew we wanted a simpler lifestyle, one with stronger ties to the land and we occasionally mused about planting a vineyard. The more we thought about it, the more appealing the idea became. Eventually, it all took form and our dream became a goal. There is a saying about angels watching out for children and fools, and there have been times along the way that we’ve felt like perfect examples of the latter.
