Kathy Joseph

Winemaker / Owner

Many moons ago, I decided to be a winery with purpose. I fell in love with wines where you could easily perceive texture (or more commonly called “elegance”)- so those more transparent wines.  And I wanted to make great food wines- so wines with balance- where no one component overpowered any other.  And I was a believer in the importance to place- that is, the importance of where the grapes are grown, knowing that factor creates character in those grapes and the resulting wine. I was willing to relocate to an amazing growing area of lesser fame, with hopes of elevating it to greatness (which happened!). So here we are 33 years later living the dream- making Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Grüner Veltliner in a handmade style called “delicious”.
