It's hard to know where to begin our story. Most people impulse buy things like jewelry, clothing or puppies. Not us! In May of 2011 we impulse bought a vineyard. We knew absolutely nothing about farming or growing wine grapes. How hard could it be? We loved to garden. We were, and still are, in love with our (not so new) farm!

   Growing wine grapes is not for the faint of heart - complete and utter panic is often overcome by sheer will and determination. Our family and friends have worked beside us through every season, and we are truly blessed and eternally grateful to all of them. Along the way we have met many kind people who have helped us find our way in the world of wine-making. Friendliness and the willingness to educate and help others are pervasive in the Eastern Wine industry. This was both an unexpected and pleasant surprise. We process our fruit at Crow Vineyards and Winery, where thanks to their excellent team, each growing season our passion becomes a reality.

   All of our wines are estate-grown, hand tended and harvested by family and friends. They are all European or "Vitis vinifera" varietals that are associated with fine old world wines. Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Merlot and Chardonnay were all established here when we came. Most of these vines are very old (25+ yrs.) and this is both tricky and remarkable.  Tricky in the sense that each one is unique and must be pruned and tended as an individual. No one single or foolproof formula works for all. Remarkable because they are deep rooted, and accustomed to the not so forgiving micro-climate of our little hollow. They are also the benefactors of a rich, rocky soil structure and long summer days.
