After meeting in 8th grade, and having been friends for nearly a decade, in 2006 we finally found ourselves together in Chicago enjoying all that the city has to offer. It was easy to be a foodie in the Windy City; however, our interest in wine surprised us both. It wasn't long before we were seeking out a new wine bar every Friday night and spending all our vacation time in Northern California and Oregon. In 2009 we enrolled in an intensive sommelier training at the Le Cordon Bleu, where we spent nearly every weekend distracting ourselves from yet another brutal winter.
In 2010 we made our first voyage to Sonoma County, staying in Healdsburg, less than a mile from the current winery. Over a gifted bottle of 1990 Dom Perignon we celebrated our engagement overlooking a beautiful Alexander Valley vineyard. The following summer we included a unity wine blending in our wedding ceremony. The "rose" resulting from a 2006 Hawkes Red Winery Cabernet and a 1997 Soter Blanc de Blanc was at any other time ill-conceived, but the memory of the moment was symbolic of our continuing love of everything wine.
