What the hell are the Eddys doing?! A fair question many of you have been too polite to ask. A complex of reasons lie behind our lurch from city to rural/wine life. Ultimately, wanted to do honest work, with integrity that results in something tangible & beautiful that brings pleasure to people's lives in some small way.
Beyond this, Caroline missed a calling in molecular biology, chemistry or similar & loves wine, so studying winemaking & making wine seemed to make sense.
Brent is, of course, a peasant, so ... vineyard labouring for him.
Three seasons on, we have learnt a lot. Often, the hard way! But it seems we can produce quality wine. Not for us to say so but we can relay that others attest to the calibre being "right up there". So that's good!
We expanded the operation last season & will do so again this year - on the proviso that our exchange of capital for a handful of beans as it were, can achieve a kind of payoff; a notch above subsistence will do! Look forward to sharing news.
For now, it is a pleasure to offer you our wines. We think they are pretty fine. As are most wines from this region. Our sincerest hope is that you come to love them like we do. Enjoy!
