ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Homewood Winery 

Homewood Winery is an artisan, handcrafted, and small-batch winery located in Carneros, Sonoma, owned and operated by David Homewood, who is the pure definition of a “Author winemaker.” David is originally from Illinois, though he moved to California in the late 70s and produced his first vintage in 1983. His very distinctive style and his sense of "terroir wine" have made him an exceptional being who, for forty years, has never compromised his quality for the sake of commerce, or ever suffered from "Parker Syndrome". Homewood Winery is the perfect example of excellent wines that remain at more-than-reasonable prices.
