Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me a piece of land.
I named it Susanna’s Vineyard - after my grandmother. A woman whose quiet strength and boundless love shaped me long before I understood what legacy truly meant.
In 2006, we planted the first vines. That same year, my son Adam was born.
Two roots. One season. A lifetime of meaning.
The wines that come from this vineyard carry both our names. Susanna’s Pinot. Susanna’s Chardonnay. And Anisya’s Blend - mine. A grandmother and her granddaughter, woven together in the soil of the Sonoma Coast.
And now, our Rosé de Blancs - patiently crafted, traditionally made, born from the same earth that holds all of this love.
This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about every woman who has ever tended something faithfully and quietly. The mothers and grandmothers. The mentors, the nurturers, the carers. The ones in our family, in our community, at our table.
Legacy isn’t only what we leave behind. It’s what we plant; in soil, in children, in one another.
Cheers
