Our Road to Gold
When my husband and I first started this journey we had NO idea what we were getting ourselves into. All we knew was that we loved wine and wanted to be a part of that world. We did our research and discovered some amazing people at The Wine Foundry to help guide us through this process. After all the background work was done, the fun finally began!
And so the journey begins!
During the Spring/Summer of 2020, amid the initial months of COVID, we traveled to Napa to start the process of getting our brand off the ground. We spent two days exploring the region, the grapes, and taste testing. With the help of a sommelier, we blended & sampled over 20 slightly different flavor profiles to find our perfect Pinot Noir.
Once we found the nose & palate that was perfect for our wine, we had it produced to those specifications. After production and bottling, we sent it in to The Las Vegas Global Wine Awards. Being our first try at any kind of wine, we didn't have any expectations. The majority of the country was still shut down & the awards kept getting pushed back so we waited...
Finally, on Dec 16th at 4:00am, I woke up to an email saying we were one of the winners!!! I couldn't believe it - we had not only won an award but we won GOLD! Call it luck, call it fate, call it a little bit of both. From then on, I knew that we had what it takes.
