“I guess it was only natural that I should want to start a company around the idea of wine – good wine. And it’s my prairie roots that have really helped me appreciate something of the agricultural rootedness of this business.

Good wine is about the juxtaposition of farming and art.

We can only make good wine if we have good grapes and proper growing conditions.” ~Doug Reichel
