Just who is the Pompous Ass you may ask? This dear little fellow, named “Sir Jackson,” has a waited many years for his creators to bring him to life. Sir Jackson may take himself seriously; but the owners themselves are not of that ilk.

Michael and Donna Lucent; who have a penchant for whimsy, believe that the Pompous Ass is the perfect parody for the wine culture.

Please feel free to stop buy and sample our wines, and check out our gift shop. We look forward to your visit! We want all who pass through our doors to feel welcomed, and right at home. We hope to appeal to the “little pompous ass” in all of us!

The family of King’s Road Vineyards decided to close the winery, due to the untimely death of the owner. Although there was great sadness to leave this beautiful winery in New Jersey, this gave them the opportunity to buy the tanks and production equipment at a reasonable price from the family. Now it was time reclaim their dream; go back “home” to the Finger Lakes region with their invaluable winery experience and equipment, and start their own winery.

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.
