About this user

Our winemaking adventure started in 2004 in the garage pressing 1,000 lbs. of Syrah grapes by hand. In 2006, "Bluey"--the Australian Shepard Blue-Merle who rules the winery--had outgrown life in the city. So, we downsized the house, upsized the land, and moved to Blue-Merle Country, a land with pomegranates & persimmons, olive trees & macadamias, and prowled by bobcats, coyotes and an occasional mountain lion. Continuously battling the challenges of steep terrain, rattlesnakes, drought and wildfires (not to mention vine-eating gophers and ground squirrels), we planted our vineyard in 2007 making hundreds of mistakes along the way. Join us on our continuing adventures as we "Grow Your Own, Make Your Own, Drink Your Own Wine," and learn from our errors as you embark on your own journey growing grapes and making wine.
