Ahead, we caught up with them to find out more about how they met, how their business came about, how they landed national distribution with mega retailers likeThe two of you have such a fascinating story — can you share how this journey of meeting came to be? 'What was it like where you grew up?' Quickly we figured out we were both growing up in agriculture areas, upcoming wine regions, and had the ambition to be in the wine business.

Both growing up in wine regions was a crazy coincidence.
