The Story
Our winemaking paths crossed through an unlikely catalyst — the Inside Winemaking podcast. Founded in 2014 by the Consulting Winemaker Jim Duane, they were avid listeners for years. In 2017, Jim organized a technical winemaking seminar in Napa Valley where the three of them struck up a friendship that inspired them to try commercial winemaking firsthand. They put their day-to-day lives on hold, stepped away from corporate office jobs, and relocated to Napa Valley.
