OUR STORY
Sharing our love of wine around the world
Some might say wine brought us together... We met at a local wine bar in downtown Napa through a mutual friend, and what started as a simple introduction quickly turned into something more.
While dating that summer, we found ourselves traveling through France together. Over the course of ten days, we explored some of Emily’s favorite French wine regions, spent time with close friends, and experienced the kind of moments that stay with you. Somewhere along the way, it became clear this was more than just a trip.
Since then, we’ve shared a deep appreciation for travel, continuous learning, and opening great bottles with the people who matter most. We look forward to sharing that with you, and to hearing how wine has shaped your own story.
Cheers,
Tyler & Emily
