The Accidental Winemaker
I never dreamed that I'd be a winemaker! Several years ago, we came to California with our small herd of horses to escape the Florida summers. While my wife was fully involved with the horses, I became interested in the vineyards around our ranch. Met some good people, got interested. And now, in 2020, we've bottled the first of grapes that I helped source and blend, wines that have my input with the assistance of master winemaker, Steve Clifton.
Hopefully, you will enjoy drinking these wines as much as I've enjoyed making them.

Where Does The Time Go?
How on earth did it get to be the end of February? Just yesterday we were gearing up for the holidays and now we are looking forward to spring and summer. For us, February was full of family; Rona's family came to Florida from PA and NY for some warmer weather while on Kent's side we got together with children and grandchildren in Utah for a week of skiing and, of course, something "equestrian", a sleigh ride.
Over the holidays, we completely sold out of our GMGb other than a few bottles we held back for our "cellar". And while we are not in CA any longer, Steve Clifton continues to oversee our winemaking and inventory, assisting with fulfillment of orders. Would like to thank all of you for continuing to support our fledgling efforts in the wine business! We may have another small batch coming out later this year. stay tuned and stay warm!
