Meet the Ladies
Every wine we make is named for a woman in our family. Seven of them, each with her own character, and each with a wine that suits her. Some were tough, some were tender, and one of them looked like the old lady from The Wedding Singer who paid in meatballs.
Want all seven? The tasting is $15 for one-ounce pours of every wine on this page. Every price here includes sales tax, the same as the menus in the tasting room.
