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.

What a Month
It's been a bit of a rough month. After traveling a lot in April, we returned home and after a week of refusing Rona's efforts to get me to the Emergency Room I finally agreed. Apparently just in time as I got to spend a week as the guest of Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara. Fast forward a few weeks and we're doing fine and things are about back to normal.
I'd like to say thanks to our wholesale accounts for promoting Long Creek Wines! As Rona pointed out, that while Wholesale accounts buy by the case, we're happy to "mix and match" to make up the cases for you.
For our retail folks, don't forget that we offer case discounts to you all as well AND they can couple with our "feel good discount" of the month - this month for Coastal Carolina Wildlife Rehab.
Thanks again as we head into summer!
