About Us

It all started in 2000 in a basement in Northfield, Ohio...

We had been trying a lot of different wines and decided that it might be cool to make our own. We bought a “wine kit” and followed the simple instructions. That first vintage tasted pretty darned good, so we tried to make a couple of different wines the following year.

We entered our 2001 Niagara and Riesling in an amateur wine competition and won a couple of gold medals. So the next year, we made more. By 2004, we were up to around 150 gallons of several different varietals and we started to experiment with various yeasts and styles. We continued to have success at wine competitions and in 2005, our Riesling won a bronze medal at the National AWS competition and took 2nd place Best of Show at the Taste of Little Italy Wine Contest.

With the encouragement of family and friends and the success of our “almost legendary” wine tasting parties, we began to think that we might just want to take this hobby to the next level. We started looking for a place “a little warmer” to start our winery and to someday establish our own vineyard. We found ourselves in the Ohio River Valley of northern Kentucky last summer, and the process to become a licensed winery is underway. Hopefully, we will be able to start production in the Fall of 2007.

Many thanks to everyone for their love and support.
