History and Background
Reverie II's journey into the wine world began with Norm Kiken in 1993. As a CFO from New Jersey with a burgeoning passion for wine, Norm moved to Napa Valley and founded the original Reverie, producing its first vintage in 1996. The winery gained momentum under the guidance of Grant Long Jr., who joined Norm in 2002. Two decades later, Grant and his wife Megan acquired the winery, renaming it Reverie II and continuing the tradition of fine winemaking on their 26-acre estate at the base of Howell Mountain.
