Despite early challenges, their collaborative efforts led to the opening of the winery in 2014. After years of expansion and community building, Shirley retired in 2024, passing leadership to Randy and Christine who continue to carry forward the vineyard's legacy with innovative expansions and consistent production of favorite wines.
