Fruit can ferment and become wine without human intervention.

Is there such a thing as the “best” or the “greatest” when it comes to wine?

For the first time in years, I feel hopeful.

Few aspire to be small when they set out in business.

Nature will seek balance. 

The replanting of the entire RSV SLD estate vineyard was completed just before the two year anniversary of the devastating fires of 2017.

Never the one to be comfortable with the pretense of wine, I wanted to have some fun.

The Carneros was in its infancy as a wine region when we planted the Three Amigos Vineyard forty years ago. 

Ever wish you could get a “do over” – start anew once experience has been gained and facts acquired?

Can we respect the past while charting a course into the future? I sure hope so.

There is a fantasy that winegrowing and winemaking is glamorous – that it is all just hobnobbing in a wine cave. I hate to burst your bubble but we’re just farmers that make a fancy, delicious beverage from our crops.

When you work against nature, bad things happen.
