Howell Mountain

Our Story

Joyce Black and Jerre Sears chose to make their home in this wild, remote place high atop Howell Mountain in 1979 with the desire to commune more directly with the natural landscape through a combination of stewardship, agriculture, and contemplation. Driven more by a philosopher’s quest for the hidden truths of the natural world than a desire to become renowned vintners, they soon realized that the path to the enlightenment they sought would grow more apparent as they worked the land they now called home. Like the Cistercian monks who helped define wine in France centuries ago, farming and ultimately winemaking became for them the quiet meditation of a life lived deliberately, spiritually, and in harmony with their environment.
