Bringing People Together

Richard loves wine. He is passionate about it. He strives to create the best, most authentic wine he can—bottlings that allow the true character of the grapes to shine through. But wine is not consumed in a vacuum—it should be shared with friends, bringing people together. It is about the shared experiences, laughter and joy that arise when we raise our glasses. That is wine is all about!

As an avid student of wine, Richard is always looking to learn more about new wine regions or the latest techniques in agriculture and viticulture, recognizing and accepting that one’s journey of knowledge in wine is never complete. He teaches classes regularly, including a wine series at the French Institute Alliance Française. He always hope to instill his passion and love of wine in others by emphasizing that wine and food can—and should—always bring people together.
