Our story begins in 1998 when we first met (at the old Way Out, for fellow St.Louisans). However, the story doesn't get good until July 2001 when we fell in love (at
Modesto over a Caesar salad). It was our mutual love of good food & drink and the outdoors that brought us together. That love of nature led to our purchase of 76
wooded acres in the Ozarks in 2002. We quickly came to realize we would not be happy until we could call this gorgeous bit of Missouri home. With the land's dramatic,
rocky, south-facing slopes, both of us were intrigued and excited by the idea of starting a vineyard and making our living doing something we love in the place we love.

The vineyard idea soon blossomed into a winery. In 2006, we added an adjoining 80 acres to our retreat. It's
on this new addition that we've broken ground for our winery building. It will be built with local materials, as
much salvaged as we can manage, and with as little disruption to the surrounding ecology as possible.

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.
