"Creating a tangible product that comes from the earth, and doing that alongside my dad, has been a dream I never knew I had."

"People often romanticize being in the wine business and admittedly, we had some of that going on. You learn very quickly that this is a hard business."

"The wine business isn't just a business, it's our lifestyle; we live and breathe it every day. It's what connects us to other people."

"Being a part of that process makes you realize that this liquid we drink for our leisure has intention and hard work behind it. I had my hands on the grapes in your glass, I put work into that bottle of wine."

"We need to focus on educating the consumer about organic production methods so they can push their retailers, who push their distributors, who then push the wineries and vineyards to grow grapes without Round-Up or harsh pesticide chemicals."

"Before I take that first sip of a wine that I am tasting for the first time, a little feeling of excitement always comes across me that I don’t think will ever go away."

"For the sake of the wine industry and humanity itself, it's time for all business owners to step up if they haven't already and do whatever they can to find sustainable solutions."
