Quotes

*“My favorite wine descriptor is trust. What we focus on with our entire team is a consistent experience and a great bottle of wine that people can come back to and enjoy again and again.” - David Duncan

*“I'm in service to the customer who's buying the wine and investing in spending their time in my presence, creating that moment, reading what their needs are. But I’m also in service to the wineries and winemakers. They are the artisans. They are the preservers of open space and agricultural land and tradition.” - Andrea Robinson
