“Neither of us had farming experience, far from it. I was a graphics person by education and experience, and Rebecca was an elementary school teacher. We were drawn by the romance of a rural lifestyle and a love of wine. Rebecca says that our madness took root in our frequent visits to southeastern Washington State in the mid-1970’s to visit her parents. We would get off the freeway and drive the back roads where we’d see the orchards and new vineyards. Rebecca would often have to grab the steering wheel so I wouldn’t drift off the road in some vine inspired dream.”
