VINEYARD NOTES:
This wine is a wine club member's favorite. We bottle a limited amount, and it goes fast leaving you wanting more but having to wait for the next crush season.
Kestutis "Gus" Vizgirda believe that the secret of good winemaking begins in the vineyard. That's why throughout the growing season you will find him touring the rows of varietals and envisioning the kinds of wines he will produce from the harvest. For over two decades, Vizgirda has worked at many local wineries, working with some of the Valley's best winemakers to refine his craft. Today, he has developed his own unique approach to making wine and has won gold medals for several of his varietals.
In addition to serving as Wilson Creek's Winemaker, Vizgirda teaches wine classes at Mt. San Jacinto College and San Diego State University Extended Studies campus. He is also a judge at various local and international wine competition.
