Our two founders, John Levenberg and Enrique Pallares, were united by an almost quixotic quest for quality. Over long hours of conversation under the quiet skies of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, John, Enrique and their families ate, drank wine together, and began crafting an ideal winery in speech, a place where wine and food of the absolute highest quality was made together with others, where collaboration was at the center of excellence, where the veil could be lifted and people could be invited in to drink wine and eat food in the winery, seeing and learning the process of this amazing craft. They dreamed up a place where truly excellent things could be made and enjoyed with quality and community at its center.
