“It’s all about the wine”
It’s all about the wine. From the moment the ground was prepared and planted through each growing season it always comes down to alchemy — with a little human assistance — that causes sun-ripened grapes to convert their sugars into alcohol and become wines worth drinking. We grew up in the wine country of Oregon and Washington and this has been our life together. Now, with our children, we hope to produce wines that are memorable, true to place, and most of all, enjoyable. So, how did we get here? Sean’s father was a winemaker in California and Oregon and the winemaking bug hit Sean early. In addition to working in wineries and vineyards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, he has worked at renowned wineries in many of the world’s premier wine regions including Alsace Lorraine, Napa Valley, and Australia. In 1998 his adventurer’s heart led him to North Carolina where he was involved in the establishment of a large vineyard and winery in the Yadkin Valley and later founded a winery and vineyard consulting business with Patricia. Patricia initially took a different career path as a criminal attorney and judge. After marrying Sean and starting a family it soon became evident that a life among the vines and barrels was a better fit for the young growing family so she changed her focus and for the last 15 years has specialized as a business consultant for vineyards and wineries.

Hostess was rude and told us our party was too large to accommodate. Literally would not serve us anything. Don't want our business, we'll take our money elsewhere. Read more
