Owner/Winemaker, Stephen M. Reustle was overjoyed when he received the news commenting, “In this time, when we see so much negativity in the news, it is wonderful to hear something positive. I cannot wait until we can once again gather together and enjoy each other’s company with a nice bottle of wine.” He continued, “These wines, while unreleased right now, will continue to improve and they will be a real treat in a few months, when they are released.”
