Initially, Scott and Rebecca had planned to make just three varietals but in conducting their own market research, they quickly discovered that "people expect a lot of choices." So, after making sure they could procure high quality grapes, the couple expanded the selection of wine to include Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, a rose wine crafted from a blend of rhone varietals, affectionately labeled Beachtown Blush and last but certainly not least, a Bordeaux Blend that Scott appropriately named Rebekah as a First Wedding Anniversary surprise for his wife.

While Alapay Cellars offers an increasingly wide selection and nearly 6000 cases annually, Scott and Rebecca promise they'll never become a large production winery. They quickly realized that the public desired to know more about wine and wine tasting but there was always a reluctance or intimidation that came from the customer visiting the tasting room. So Rebecca created a saying that is now a trademark of the company, "Come on in.the water's WINE!" Scott and Rebecca have created Alapay Cellars to truly be, "great tasting wine without the attitude." Scott says, "I think we've found something we could do for the rest of our lives. We never want to exceed the capacity where we can't do it all ourselves and I'll always be the hands-on winemaker!"

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
