Aloha started with Beckmen for the 1999 crush, exactly three years to the day that I moved to California. It was the best decision I ever made. I loved every minute of harvest and worked my but off landing a fulltime position.
In 2001 I took the reigns as the assistant winemaker for Beckmen Vineyards. I took on a true passion for Grenache working with the amazing fruit coming off Beckmen’s Purisima Mountain Vineyard. I worked with Beckmen till the summer of 2005 when I took a position as the associate winemaker for Fess Parker.
After about two years with Fess Parker I was invited back to Beckmen Vineyards as head winemaker in the winter of 2007.

I started my own label Kaena in 2001, starting out with only three barrels of wine and I have since grown to an annual production of 500 cases with a focus on Grenache. The name Kaena is my given Hawaiian name which means “potential for greatness”.

I try to be as natural as possible when making my wines using native yeasts, no enzymes, and no ML bacteria in hopes that the wines will express the site they came from. I hope you enjoy the wines as much as I enjoyed making them.
