None of the wine are over-oaked and all of the wines have a fruit forward emphasis. Most people would be surprised to know how difficult it is for winemakers to keep things simple. Barry's goal throughout the process is simplicity.

Given their background, many people ask, "Are you really winemakers?" Our answer is always the same, "If we're not the winemakers, we'd sure like to meet them, because we are working our asses off producing the finest wines we know how to make!"

"HANDS-ON" This is probably too modest a description of how Barry and Marilyn handle each and every tasks and detail. From the first moment the grapes are picked to the last moments the wine is poured into your glass for tasting - Barry and Marilyn are there.
More than anything else, we entered into this venture to meet new friends through the production of wine.

Winemaker: Barry Kinman

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
