Why Craft Wine?

Wine country is not a single location.  Most of the wine we think of as coming from "wine country" is nothing more than large-batch, corporate wine.  We wanted something real, something handmade and authentic.

We wanted to know we could meet the hands that made it. We wanted to know where the fruit came from.  We wanted to know for certain what we were drinking was craft wine, not something packaged to look like craft wine.

​

What we discovered is that wine country exists within an hour's drive from every major city in the US.  Handmade authentic wines just waiting to be discovered.  We fell in love over and over again. 

Now you can too.
