MIDLIFE CRISIS WINERY
A Knack for Producing Quality Wine Inspired a Passion Pursued
By Dave Wilcox
I
t’s impossible to say Midlife Crisis Winery
without smiling a little bit. Most of us at
some point have daydreamed about
chucking it all and pursuing our passion.
Actually, Kevin and Jill Mittan didn’t chuck
it all. They’ve still got their day jobs. They
have, however, successfully pursued their
passion of making wine.
A typical weekend begins with the couples’
two Australian Shepherds, Roo and Sydney,
jumping into the back of Jill’s Subaru Forrester
and the foursome makes the 3-1/2-hour drive
from the San Fernando Valley to Paso Robles.
Often, Jill will be pouring Midlife Crisis wines
at a tasting event, while Kevin is tending to
business in Paso Robles. Or vice-versa.
A booming real estate market in 2004 trig-
gered a whirlwind three months during which
the Mittans transformed their winemaking
hobby in the garage of their suburban Los
Angeles home into a Paso Robles winery. In the
space of about 90 days, the couple sold their
home, found a smaller residence in the L.A.
area, found 22 acres in Paso Robles and
became a bonded winery.
By September 2004, the Midlife Crisis
8 www.winecountrythisweek.com
Winery had its first crush and, as the Mittan’s
say on their fun website, “second thoughts
were not an option anymore!”
“If we stopped to take a breath during that
time,” Kevin Mittan reflected recently, “I don’t
know what we would’ve done.”
Both Kevin and Jill work in the post-
production world of the entertainment
industry — “definitely in the background,”
says Kevin — and neither saw themselves
working the same jobs for the next 30 years. If
not a full-fledged mid-life crisis, Kevin said
they asked themselves, “What do we want to
do with the rest of our lives?”
“Both of us knew we really wanted to do
something in retirement.”
As home winemakers, the couple devel-
oped an unmistakable knack for producing
quality wine. Those garage wines earned more
than 60 regional and international awards,
including a gold medal at the Mid-State Fair.
Much of the fruit they used was sourced from
the Paso Robles area, so they looked to this
region when they decided to start a winery.
“We’ve always liked the wines from up
here,” said Kevin, sitting in the Midlife Crisis
tasting room in downtown Paso Robles, less
than a block from the city’s park. “There’s so
The winery’s
spacious tasting
room is in the
midst of Paso
Robles’ resurgent
downtown at
1244 Pine Street,
Suite A.
much really good, quality fruit in the Paso
Robles area.”
The winery continues to use Paso Robles
grapes exclusively in for all their varietals,
which range from Zinfandel, Syrah,
Sangiovese, Merlot and Barbera to Pinot Grigio
and Chardonnay.
So, about the name?
Mittan credits his brother-in-law. The
couple’s homemade wine was bottled under a
label bearing the name Vanalden – the street
where they lived at the time. That was out.
They also ruled out any permutations of their
own names.
“Chateau This” or “Villa That” didn’t appeal
to them, either.
In the midst of their decision-making, Jill’s
brother sent an email saying essentially if
you’re going through a mid-life crisis “wouldn’t
sports cars have been cheaper.”
The idea stuck.
It’s certainly memorable, but the whimsical
name doesn’t mean the Mittans aren’t serious
about winemaking.
“We knew we’d have to prove ourselves
because of the funny name of the winery,” said
Kevin.
Prove themselves they have, with Midlife

Kevin and
Jill Mittan
with their
two Australian
Shepherds,
Roo and Sydney

Crisis wines winning multiple honors and – perhaps more importantly

– selling briskly.
The 2004 vintage – the winery’s first – is sold out.
Like most good winemakers, the Mittans know it’s impossible to
produce quality wine using inferior fruit. They seek out proven vine-
yards to ensure top-notch grapes.
“What we really try to do is let the wine make itself as much as
possible.”
That said, Kevin Mittan believes in making fruit-forward wines that
are drinkable earlier. He tells the story of a person who insisted that one
of Mid-Life’s 2004 wines was a 2002 vintage. Of course, Midlife Crisis
didn’t get bonded until 2004.
Midlife Crisis features a robust blend bottled under the label Roo
Boy Red made with Petite Sirah, Merlot and Tempranillo.
“When people try it they’re pretty blown away,” Mittan said of the
wine, which is named for one of the Mittans’ two Australian Shepherds.
On the other end of the spectrum is a Pinot Grigio, which Mittan
said he makes in a fashion that surprises most tasters with a creamy,
vanilla coconut finish, while retaining the crispness typical of the vari-
etal.
The Mittans jump-started the winery in 2004, producing 800 cases.
That number grew to 1,500 with the 2005 vintage and 2,200 in 2006.
“We’re trying to get to 5,000 cases as soon as we can,” said Kevin.
They want to remain hands-on winemakers.
The winery’s spacious tasting room is in the midst of Paso Robles’
resurgent downtown, with a number of well-reviewed restaurants
within easy strolling distance. The city park – which hosts, among
other events, the annual Paso Robles Wine Festival – is usually busy on
the weekends.
Walls in the tasting room feature local artists’ work that are for sale
and a handful of tables are available for visitors to relax.
The tasting room is at 1244 Pine Street, Suite A, and is open every
Thursday to Monday from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can get more infor-
mation by calling (805) 237-8730, or visiting the Midlife Crisis Winery

 ON THE COVER WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
EOS – Quality Wines at a Unique Destination
L
ocated in the premier growing region of Paso Robles, the EOS
Estate Winery has become a leading producer of award-winning
varietal wines and a destination spot for travelers. The spectac-
ular 104,000-square-foot Romanesque facility is surrounded by 700
acres of beautiful estate vineyards.
It all began with the arrival of Phil and Frank Arciero in the late
1930s from Italy to Southern California as mere boys. Having never
spoken English, they worked their way up in the construction
industry and eventually started their own construction company in
Southern California.
In addition, they always enjoyed auto racing and farming, and
Frank discovered the Paso Robles area on his trips from the south to
the racetrack near Monterey. Paso Robles reminded him of the gently
rolling hills of his childhood home south of Rome. From this they
began to realize a dream, and in 1982 purchased 200 acres and
planted their first vineyard. The Arciero construction company began
construction of the winery in 1985, which is modeled after the
ancient Benedictine monastery Montecassino in Italy, and one year
later, their dream was born.
Never content to rest on past accomplishments, in 1996, the
Arciero Family along with General Manager and Partner Kerry Vix
launched an entirely new winemaking operation within the existing
facility: EOS Estate Winery.
Eos was the name given to the “Goddess of the Dawn” in Greek
mythology. The legend was that every morning Eos lifted the sun over
the horizon to start a new day. It symbolizes the dawning of a new era:
a return to classical winemaking techniques with a focus on hand-
crafted traditional quality.
The production of EOS wines is unique in many ways. Prior to
planting, each vineyard row is deep trenched to the depth of five feet
to allow water and roots to effectively penetrate the compacted earth.
Proper clonal selection of vines is determined based upon terroir and
targeted flavor profile. Throughout the growing season, special atten-
tion is paid to leaf removal and crop thinning. Drip irrigation is
employed for complete control of limited watering regime for the
vines.
A 24,000-square-foot, temperature- and humidity-controlled
barrel storage facility was built in 1999 to accommodate the winery’s
growing number of French and American oak barrels, necessary for
the production of world-class wines.
All EOS Estate wines are handcrafted by Director of Winemaking
Leslie Melendez. Leslie concentrates on producing food-friendly
wines that emphasize balance, elegance and pure fruit flavor.
One of California’s fastest growing wine brands, the Estate Bottled
EOS portfolio includes Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot and two stunning dessert
wines – a Late Harvest Moscato called “Tears of Dew” and an Estate
10 www.winecountrythisweek.com
Frank and Butch Arciero
Zinfandel Port – both with award-winning packaging.
Available since 1997, EOS wines have already garnered significant
awards. Most recently the EOS 2004 Zinfandel received a Gold medal
and 94 points, while the EOS 2006 “Tears of Dew” Late Harvest
Moscato received a Double Gold medal, Best of Class Region and 98
points, both in the 2007 California State Fair Wine Competition.
In 2000, the EOS line expanded with the introduction of the EOS
“Cupa Grandis” Grand Barrel Reserve program. Featuring grapes
sourced from the top EOS Estate Chardonnay and Petite Sirah vine-
yard blocks, the wines are handcrafted using the world’s finest
cooperage. The Cupa Grandis Chardonnay is fermented and aged in
100-percent new Louis Latour French oak, considered one of the
finest in the world, and the Petite Sirah uses a selection of barrels from
specific forests in France and America, chosen by Leslie Melendez.
The Cupa Grandis line has received numerous awards and acco-
lades. The Cupa Grandis 2003 Chardonnay received 93 points /Taster’s
Choice Selection, and was called “One of the Top 10 California
Chardonnay’s of 2005” in The Wine News. The Cupa Grandis 2003
Petite Sirah received 94 points and a gold medal in the 2007 Cali-
fornia State Fair Wine Competition and 93 points in the August issue
of Wine & Spirits magazine.
All of these world-class wines can be tasted in the expansive EOS
tasting room – known as the “Mediterranean Marketplace” – at 5626
Highway 46 West in Paso Robles. Visitors can enjoy old-world
ambiance while surveying the unique, carefully selected collection of
gourmet foods, fine gifts and a surprising racing car exhibit. Beyond
the tasting room there are lovely rose gardens, stately Italian architec-
ture, and lush picnic areas to explore, as well as fascinating, self-
guided tours of the wine production facility.
The tasting room is open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
summer weekends). For more information, visit www.eosvintage.com

BAILEYANA, tangent
One Roof, Very Different Wines
by Dave Wilcox
Like a sibling in a family full of high
achievers, the Sauvignon Blanc being
produced by Baileyana Winery needed to
carve out its own identity. That, in a
nutshell, is what inspired third-generation
Edna Valley grape-growing pioneers John
Niven and Michael Blaney to create
tangent.
“Our Sauvignon Blanc is fabulous,” said
Niven, the grandson of Jack and Catharine
Niven, among the first to plant wine
grapes in the Edna Valley more than 30
years ago. But, he said, “it sort of was the
‘red-headed step-child’ ” among the
Baileyana lineup.
“We were so passionate about the wine,
we felt that it needed to be its own star.”
Such is the stuff of inspiration.
With Sauvignon Blanc as the flagship
carrying the banner proclaiming “life
12
beyond Chardonnay,” Niven, Blaney and
winemaker Christian Roguenant created
tangent, producing nothing but alternative
white varietals bottled under screwcap to
showcase the eight-mile-long Edna Valley’s
cool climate and unique soils.
“It takes unoakened Chardonnay to a
whole next level,” said Niven.
Not that Niven has anything against
Chardonnay. On the contrary, Chardonnay
has been Baileyana’s focus since Niven’s
grandmother, Catharine Niven, planted a
3.5-acre vineyard in her front yard and
founded the winery. And Chardonnay
remains an integral part of the winery’s
identity.
Indeed, Baileyana and tangent co-exist
as separate, but equal brands under one
roof, each highly focused with its own
unique identity.
“The two wineries represent an evolu-
tion as we take our wine making efforts to
www.winecountrythisweek.com
the next level,” said Niven.
At Baileyana, the focus is on Grand
Firepeak Cuvee: ultra-premium estate
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah from
the winery’s Firepeak Vineyard. The vine-
yard is nestled against Islay Mountain, the
last in a chain of seven extinct volcanoes.
“Firepeak Vineyard represents over 30
years of grape-growing knowledge” in
Edna Valley, said Niven.
tangent, as its name suggests, is a depar-
ture from Baileyana’s enduring, classical
wines. Sleek and sophisticated, tangent’s
modern approach to grapegrowing and
winemaking complements the Baileyana
brand. The stylistic differences are
embodied in the respective labels, with
Baileyana’s Grand Firepeak Cuvee evoking
an oaky warmth, while the tangent
bottlings are crisp, clean and fresh.
What both have in common, said
Niven, is the tradition of Niven family
 WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK WINE COUNTRY NEWS

wines that “over-deliver for the price.” The trio of Grand Firepeak
Cuvee offerings are among the best values on the market for estate
wines from a designated vineyard.
The decision to launch tangent came in 2005. At the time,
Baileyana was producing nine different wines under its label.
“That didn’t really send a clear message of what this winery is
all about,” summed up Niven. The family hired Roguenant, who
enthusiastically embraced the tangent concept and oversaw
construction of the winery’s state-of-the-art production facility. It
is especially geared to the production of world-class Pinot Noir (a
wine demanding delicate handling) and Syrah.
Niven pointed out that local wine lovers devoted to Baileyana’s
Edna Valley Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc – and there are
legions – will still be able to find it throughout San Luis Obispo
County. The Grand Firepeak Cuvee wines are intended for distri-
bution on a statewide national, and international scale.
The Baileyana and tangent tasting room is located at the
restored historic one-room Independence Schoolhouse built in
1909 at 5828 Orcutt Road in San Luis Obispo. Visit the website

WILD COYOTE WINERY
Maintaining a Creative Balance
by Dave Wilcox
B
alance is an integral concept in Gianni
Manucci’s life, influencing everything
from architectural style and his
sculpting to the importance he places on
family and friends and, finally, to his wine-
making.
Wild Coyote Winery is a testament to
Manucci’s creative balance, providing visitors
with a mystical retreat echoing an ancient
Southwestern adobe village. It’s a slice of
New Mexico on a hillside west of Paso
Robles, complete with panoramic views and
a secluded courtyard where bed-and-break-
fast guests can relax under a star-studded sky.
The authentic feel of Wild Coyote’s south-
western style is no accident. Much of the
material used in the construction of the
tasting room and the five casitas that make up
the bed-and-breakfast were brought from
New Mexico. That includes the beams and
pillars that command attention.
Manucci thought he would retire to Taos,
New Mexico, but he dreamed of starting a
winery and, well, New Mexico isn’t noted for
its grape-growing regions.
The adobe-style architecture is accented
14
Gianni and Kati Manucci with Alex, Sage
and Sophia
on the interior mainly with original Native
American art Manucci has collected. One of
Manucci’s own stone sculptures, called “Spir-
itual Chief,” sits near the tasting bar.
Compact discs featuring Native American
music are also displayed for sale, along with
some whimsical wine caddies forged from
metal and a handful of other items. There is
no “gift shop” feel, though, something
Manucci wanted to shy away from.
“We did not want to have a gift shop envi-
ronment because it takes away from the
family-style here,” he said. “We want an
atmosphere where visitors can enjoy wine
and good conversation, we don’t just want to
www.winecountrythisweek.com
sell a bunch of stuff.”
Wild Coyote is truly an estate winery,
where Manucci and his wife, Kati, are respon-
sible for the wine from planting to bottling.
Only grapes grown on the 15 acres of vine-
yards – Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel – are
used in making the wine. Besides those three
varietals, Wild Coyote also offers a blend
called “House of Reds” – the winery’s nick-
name – a Rosé and a Zinfandel Port.
Manucci believes in crafting robust reds,
leaving them in oak until they’re what he
considers ready – at least 18 months, and
often more than two years. Besides some
training at UC Davis, Manucci describes
himself as a self-taught winemaker.
He is passionate about farming and
making wine.
“The reason I got into the business is to
enjoy being a farmer and grow grapes,” said
Manucci. “My philosophy is, ‘If you don’t
grow the grapes, you shouldn’t make the
wine’.”
Wild Coyote Estate Winery is located at
3775 Adelaida Road in Paso Robles and is
open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more

Central Coast Winemakers to Stand Off at Upcoming Cook-off
You be the judge. On Saturday, August 11, people will travel to
Paso Robles from all over to cast their votes as more than 30 of the
Central Coast’s finest winemakers compete – but not for the “Best
Wine Award.” No, this time attendees will vote for the “Winemaker-
Chef” for the evening, as vintners combine their favorite culinary
creation with their wines while wooing the attendees for their votes.
The event will be held at the newly remodeled River Oaks Hot
Springs & Spa.
Pasolivo Olive Oil is the major sponsor for the Ninth Annual
Winemakers’ Invitational Cook-off, where winemakers, including
Opolo Vineyards, Eberle, Justin, Robert Hall, Tobin James and
J. Lohr to name a few, will prepare unique culinary cuisine to pair
with their favorite wines. “The winemakers love to participate
because it breaks from the traditional wine-tasting event,” comments
www.winecountrythisweek.com
WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK ATTRACTIONS
Josh Yaguda, whose family owns Pasolivo Olive Oil. “They get to
showcase their finest wines and compete by cooking a dish that will
bring out the greatest of qualities in their wines.” The winemaker-
chef with the most attendee votes at the end of the evening wins the
People’s Choice Award.
When asked about some of the delectable food that one might
expect at the cook-off, Yaguda laughs, “That’s top secret. The wine-
maker-chefs prefer not to share what they are preparing in advance
because they want to keep their competitive edge.” In addition to the
People’s Choice Award, local renowned chefs will also be “tasting
and voting” to determine which winemaker-chef will win this year’s
coveted Judges’ Award.
This sell-out event is expected to draw close to 1,000 attendees.
“The word is out about the popularity of this event, so this year, we
had to create an event website so people could conveniently
purchase tickets online,” says Sally Davis, event chair for the Paso
Robles Rotary Club, the host of the event.
All proceeds will benefit the Paso Rotary’s Harlow Ford Scholar-
ship Foundation. Over the past 8 years, the Winemakers’ Invita-
tional Cook-off has raised more than $200,000. This year, the Foun-
dation awarded $30,000 to 15 local, graduating high school seniors.
The Ninth Annual Winemakers’ Invitational Cook-off will take
place at the River Oaks Hot Springs and Spa in Paso Robles from 5
to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 11. Tickets are $75 per person. To

Preferred Tasting Room:
GREY WOLF CELLARS
by Mark Storer
H
ighway 46 West through Paso Robles is
a dream, as John Steinbeck might have
said. It winds across the Templeton
Gap punctuated by lush vineyards and
mighty oak trees on hillsides that seem to go
on forever. The wine that’s grown here is
special, too – and not just because of the
scenery, but because of the families that call
this place home. Joe Barton’s Grey Wolf
Cellars is a testament to “the gap” as home.
The Grey Wolf tasting room is unas-
suming, at best, from the outside. Sitting atop
a smallish driveway entrance, an old farm-
house looks to the south. Joe has been in the
process of sprucing up the place a little,
adding on a new beautiful concrete patio to
replace the weather worn and outdated
wooden deck. More good reviews means
more customers – and more customers need
more space. Grey Wolf, while still a small
boutique winery, is making world-class wine
in a place that feels very much like that Barton
family living room.
Inside, dark wooden floors creak beauti-
fully as you head to the bar that sits astride
the kitchen and the living room. Barton
16
family portraits and Grey Wolf memorabilia
adorn the space and a friendly, helpful
pouring staff sees to it that the customers
don’t go thirsty.
After the death of his father, it fell to Joe to
keep Grey Wolf going and he has succeeded
beyond, perhaps, his own expectations. The
tasting room, literally a beautiful wooden bar
in a living room of an old farmhouse, is the
place to taste Grey Wolf’s amazing Zinfandels
and Syrahs as well as the table red wine that
keeps winning awards, a blend that Joe does
himself at his own whim.
Like any boutique winery, the heart of
www.winecountrythisweek.com
Grey Wolf is the wine club. In joining the
pack, wine lovers get to indulge in any
number of Barton’s creations over the course
of a year. The wine club assures fans of the
wine that they will get to taste just about
everything they want to before it sells out,
though Barton has upped production a bit
over the past year to ensure that he is able to
keep a thirsty pack well quaffed.
But the real success of small wineries is
exactly that; Grey Wolf’s small and manage-
able size helps Barton keep his hand in all
levels of wine-making and so, every bottle has
the indelible stamp of its maker on it. The
tasting room is an extension of that very idea.
The small farmhouse with the large Barton
family portrait over the fireplace reminds
customers and tourists that Grey Wolf is not
just a wine company’s name – it’s a way of life,
a family dedicated to making great wine and
treating its customers like they, too, were part
of the pack.
Grey Wolf Cellars is located at 2174
Highway 46 West in Paso Robles. Tasting
hours are from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. For

Paso Robles WestFest 2007

WestFest 2007 is the fourth annual Wine and Blues Festival, with
major sponsorship from Hampton Inns and Suites, Grapeline Express,
Canyon Villa Bed & Breakfast, and Farm Credit West, Fog Catcher Inn
O
CALIF RNIA and Best Western Fireside Inn, which is produced by the Hwy 46 West

46 Wineries in Paso Robles, California. The event this year will be held
Saturday, September 8th at Peachy Canyon Winery located off of
Highway 46 West on Bethel Road. Your ticket entitles you to wine club
discounts at all participating wineries for the entire weekend, and
WEST admission to the festival to hear Rockin’ Blues. The centerpiece of the
weekend is the festival where each winery will pour their award-
winning wines. Your ticket also becomes your raffle number for great
gifts including two six-liter wine bottles etched and hand-painted with
the WestFest logo. Over three hundred guests coming from as far away
as Washington State attended the first annual event. The event has
limited seating and tickets are sold in advance by the participating
wineries. Time, price, food and entertainment to be announced.
About Highway 46 West Wineries Group
In 2004, thirteen wineries on Highway 46 West formed the
Highway 46 West Wineries Group. This group was formed to promote
the tasting rooms of the beautiful west side and to make people aware
of the uniqueness of 46 West and the wines produced there. Paso
Robles Wine Country is as unique and inviting as the people who have
dedicated themselves to nurturing the vineyards and crafting fine
wines. Visitors to Highway 46 West find the road less traveled is often
marked by the thrill of discovery in this uncongested region. It’s an
area where hospitality is first among a long list of qualities … where
being friends and neighbors is as important as producing stellar wines.
Highway 46 West is one thread that weaves among the vineyards and
wineries connecting longtime estates with exciting new producers.
Rolling hills, majestic oaks and lush vineyards await the wine lover at
every turn. The tasting rooms of Highway 46 West invite you to enjoy
our neighborhood, relax under the spell of our friendly environment
and savor life while sipping our spectacular wines.
The participating wineries consist of Brian Benson Cellars,
Castoro Cellars, Dark Star Cellars, Doce Robles, Eagle Castle, Fratelli
Perata, Grey Wolf, Hunt Cellars, JanKris Winery, Midnight Cellars,
Peachy Canyon, Windward Vineyard and Rotta Winery and are all
included on the 46 West Passport. The passport is your map to the
Westside, including descriptions and hours for each winery. Just like
a travel passport you will get a unique stamp from each winery.
Once you get seven stamps you will receive a beautifully designed
poster of all the participating wineries labels. When your passport is
full with all thirteen stamps, your gift is another poster signed by all
of the winemakers and entry into a quarterly drawing for prizes from
a weekend stay at one of the groups hotel sponsors to a guided
tasting tour. Throughout the year the group puts on other events
such as Tax Revolt Weekend and West Fest. West Fest is the big
event of the year. All thirteen wineries come together to pour great
wines while guests listen to blues music and enjoy delicious food
from local caterers. For more information, check out the 46 West
Wineries website at www.paso46westwineries.com.

 WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

Hayman & Hill Releases a White Blend from Santa Barbara

Cellar Door has announced the launch of Hayman & Hill Inter-
change, a new white blend from Santa Barbara County. Interchange
represents the natural flow between nature’s elements and the art of
winemaking. The 2006 Interchange features a blend of aromatic white
varietals from Santa Barbara County’s diverse landscape, and is the
latest in Hayman & Hill’s venture to create single-appellation wines
produced from California’s top winegrowing regions.
“Interchange symbolizes many things,” said Rebecca Stead,
Marketing Manager for Cellar Door wines. “It is the winemaker’s
careful hand over the winemaking journey; the cooling flow of mild
coastal breezes through hillside vineyards; the subtle hint of pineapple
aromas in the glass from distinct parcels of land. Interchange discovers
what’s new on the horizon, which in this case, is the magnificent Santa
distinctly rich, yet refreshing palette.”
Expressive of its appellation, Interchange is a luscious, rich blend
of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Malvasia Bianca, Semillon
and Gewürztraminer grapes. This latest addition to Hayman & Hill’s
appellation-specific line-up has a bright floral nose and a luscious
tropical palate with bright acidity.
Interchange will be distributed nationally with a suggested retail
price of $13.99. The Hayman & Hill winemaking philosophy is
simply to seek out the finest quality grapes where they grow best.
