13 years ago yesterday was my last day in uniform wrapping up nearly 22 years of service in the USAF. There’s a lot I miss from my old military life, but I’m much happier these days as a wine maker & mental health advocate.
My post retirement goal was to open a winery & make great wine but I never expected to pivot into a mental health advocate. My life changed in 2020/21 when PTSD & depression took hold and wouldn’t let go, thankfully I’m recovered & here today because the treatment I received Home Base,
Every time you buy a bottle of our wine, a portion of that sale goes to the Home Base Program to help other vets the way they helped me.

Fantastic wine release party yesterday!
I hate second guessing my decisions. In January I decided not to make wine in 2026 but after attending my good friend’s son’s wedding where my pet nat was featured, I came home & started questioning that choice. That put me into a funk the past few weeks. I’ve done a grape harvest every year since 2012 & skipping one hurts.
I’ll be ok but I’ve realized sharing my issues is part of my therapy and hopefully will lead others to do the same.

Our just released 2022 Reentry Cabernet Sauvignon is now available , along with our 2022 pet nat & Grenache.
This isn’t your normal Cali Cabernet at only 13.5% ABV, no new oak, and just 16 months aging in neutral oak barrels. Jammy and fruit forward, great with a steak or by itself on the patio. 50 cases produced.
