It started a Friday night in 2010 Kelly and I went to dinner with Mark Clarin (Winemaker at McGrail Vineyards/Musician. He gave us some good advice about making wine but a little short on our investment needs, but that's ok now. We owe a great deal to our friends in the industry: (Burman & Ziganti of the 3 Steves, Jim Frost-Auburn James Winery, Collin Cranor-Nottingham Cellars, & Rhonda Wood-Wood Family Vineyards). They are responsible for us doing 20 tons of fruit for 2016 and spending a ton of money- Thanks!-Kidding, Really it's a great ride to be on and we are looking forward to making great wines and representing Livermore.
