Partners in both life and winemaking, Katie and Corrine met while getting their MS in Viticulture at UC Davis and traveled abroad to different winemaking regions to hone their craft together. They “strive to showcase regions, varietals, and humans that have long had a presence in this industry, but have yet to been celebrated by many of its constituents.” Corinne & Katie source their grapes from vineyards utilizing sustainable, organic practices and aim to utilize minimal intervention winemaking techniques to create wines that are balanced, elegant and unique—a true testament to the skill and talent of the two women that make them.
