About The Winemaker

"Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilized." ~ Andre Simone

Life is about what you enjoy and the journey you travel! My passion is about making something that everyone enjoys for all of life's journeys!

In 2007, I had a life changing experience, when I finally left the "desk" and corporate life, to experience my journey to its fullest. With many experiences and inspirations that I have gained from traveling around the world, I followed my heart and returned to school. This time, it was in Viticulture and Enology. After acquiring an Associates of Applied Science from Southern Oregon Wine Institute, I had the opportunity to work in both the vineyard and the winery. With that experience, I developed the desire to make exceptional wine that everyone would enjoy.

Having worked in both the vineyard and the winery, I do try to walk the rows regularly, but my heart has landed in the winery. Crafting wine has become a passion of mine. From the beginning, when the grapes are selected to the final process of bottling. Wine making is fun and exciting! Its hard work with a reward! My goals are to make boutique quantities of select varieties with exceptional quality. Taste the experience yourself! Cheers!
