I am blessed that my family has been in the wine business since 1919. America is my homeland, but Italian blood flows through my veins. At a young age, Pop was sent to Italy and placed under the tutelage of his Aunt Teodolinda, who supervised the household staff for Pope Pius XI. Teodolinda was passionate about hospitality and oversaw the cellar for the Pontiff. Pop mirrored her enthusiasm. Their
wisdom was passed on to my mother Joan, who motivated me and my brothers. Growing up, we were surrounded by wine and family tradition. I’m a zealot and enjoy vino daily! My career in the beverage industry has given me tremendous joy as well as inspiration from some of the best in the business. Without this, BILL’S BLEND would not be possible. My personal dream of creating a wine became a reality while attending the Washington Grape Growers Association annual fundraiser. Winning a bid for one-ton of Red Mountain cabernet sauvignon grapes and a French/American oak barrel was a life-changing experience. The first vintage of BILL’S BLEND was produced and released for family and close friends. It was a smashing success. BILL’S BLEND goal is to deliver an exceptional product. Please enjoy with the ones you love and remember, wine has only one purpose in life, to give pleasure!
