Theirs is a typical wine story. It began with seduction. Richard, a former MPP - but not a farmer - had always loved vineyards. Luckily, he planted his on a strand of ancient mineral-rich beach soil. His bemused wife Vida, really a psychotherapist, watched the vines grow, then began winemaking training in earnest. Committed to authentic 100% county wine, they grow classic whites that range from crisp Chenin to aromatic Gewürztraminer, and reds that go from light-hearted Gamay to serious Pinot. County wine pioneers, they live on a 200-year-old glorious and storied farm. 11 am to 6 pm, daily, spring through fall.
