Winery Info
WHETSTONE WINE CELLARS
The luxury for me has always been the vineyard work I was afforded the first 6 years I was in the business.The relationship between vineyard and winery is exactly the same as a marriage. So I am real thoughtful when engaging in this kind of commitment. Winemaking, for me, begins and ends in the vineyard. The cellar is icing on the cake and a chance to reflect on what you did/did not do well during the growing season.
