French and American oak barrels and stainless steel tanks are used to suit the discerning tastes of those who like oak and those who don't.

The winery will regret not coming. The woods outside the winery have a French feel, and inside the building is an exhibition of 3D paintings by artist Phil Lewis in bold colors, a bit of rock punk and a strong vitality of nature.
