Hi...I make wines in Los Angeles, with grapes grown in SoCal - L.A. county, down to San Diego, with some Cucamonga, Santa Barbara and a bit of the Sonorous Central Valley to keep it real...and by real I mean breathing the same air the fruit breathes, drinking the same water, befriending the same bugs. I let the grapes ferment naturally, and I let them be throughout the whole process of pressing, barreling and bottling - no filtering, no additions, no special requests. Wine-making started for me at the age of about 7, helping my italian father make a barrel of wine in the garage, in Chicago, with grapes from California. I liked it then, so I kept at it, and now I’m in California, sending the people I love in Chicago wines I’m making in a garage, just like an italian. All with the same wine press he used back then. The bottles are all re-used - collected and sterilized in Los Angeles; the labels on the bottles are made with a non-petroleum based glue; the ink on the labels is acid-free; the stamps used to place the ink are made in Los Angeles. I hope you enjoy these time-capsules, these packages of place!
