The Accidental Winemaker
I never dreamed that I'd be a winemaker! Several years ago, we came to California with our small herd of horses to escape the Florida summers. While my wife was fully involved with the horses, I became interested in the vineyards around our ranch. Met some good people, got interested. And now, in 2020, we've bottled the first of grapes that I helped source and blend, wines that have my input with the assistance of master winemaker, Steve Clifton.
Hopefully, you will enjoy drinking these wines as much as I've enjoyed making them.

As Much As We Hate To Say Goodbye...
As much as we hate it, our time in CA is over at the end of this month with the keys to the ranch being handed over to the new owners in early April. In our time away, we've missed our friends and the Valley constantly but now it really hits home. From a wine standpoint, this is the last weekend we will be processing any wine sales to allow for packaging and shipping time for our crew in Santa Ynez.
Thanks to everyone and we will think fondly of CA as we are now totally east coast based.
