We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the many people who helped us along the road that led to our first crush: Allen Kreutzer without whom we would have been lost this fall, Doug Meador of Ventana Vineyards for his generous advice and guidance, Ken Fuller of Fuller Vineyard, Hank Battjes of Gold Hill Vineyard, Steve Dorcich of Dorcich Cellars for the generous use of his Macro bins, George Troquato and Tom Mudd of Cinnabar Vineyard for their sound advice, Bill Crandall for his financial leadership, Mac Small for his legal guidance, and all the winery folk in El Dorado county who shared their experience of the region with us and made us feel like we wanted to make it our home.

We would also like to thank the many other people in the industry whom we dealt with on a business level, for their professionalism and assistance.

And last, but certainly not least, we want to thank our beloved circle of family and friends for their ongoing support of our venture, whether it be financial, emotional, or otherwise. Your faith in us is what has enabled to accomplish all we have done so far!
