A few years ago, right here in our own backyard, Cindy and I embarked on a delightful adventure: cultivating a burgeoning vineyard. We started small, with just a few hundred vines, but by next year, our flourishing rows will be home to nearly 400 vines!
Last year, we celebrated a momentous occasion – crafting our very first, albeit delightful, batch of wine. This year, the harvest promises to be even more fruitful, literally and figuratively, resulting in a larger batch of our blossoming creation.

We were incredibly humbled and honored to be featured in the Orange County Wine Society's monthly newsletter (Check the Link above) – a true validation of our little vineyard's potential. One unexpected perk of our passion project has been the opportunity to host weddings in our charming, intimate setting. If you know anyone searching for a unique and affordable vineyard wedding venue, please send them our way!
These weddings, along with other events we've hosted, have brought Cindy and I immense enjoyment, and we can't wait to create many more memories in the years to come. Speaking of exciting developments, we've also been having some preliminary discussions and planning for the upcoming Elsinore High School 50th Class Reunions – how thrilling (Damn 50 years!!)
Sure, some folks might have chuckled and called us crazy at the outset, but this endeavor is a true labor of love. It requires immense patience, a virtue we have honed over the years of waiting. From the initial planting of the vines, which takes a patient 3-4 years to yield their bounty, to the additional 1-2 years for the wine to mature, this project thrives on delayed gratification. But the reward? The exquisite taste of a dream realized savored sip by glorious sip. It's the culmination of years of dedication, transforming a vision into a reality, one delicious drop at a time.
