The Winery

Our wines are aged in the finest French, Hungarian and American oak barrels, bottled in heavy French glass, and corked with the highest grade Lafitte cork - it grows as bark on oak trees, a completely sustainable resource which creates very diverse yet quietly stable ecosystems. Every bottle is hand-dipped in wax - mostly by me. Bottles are labeled one at the time on our little labeler right next to the tasting bar. Come see us! We'd be happy to show you around and taste some wine. But why wait? Buy some of or wine now online to tide you over.
