We are two passionate individuals whose lives are centrally focused on remaining as healthy and happy as possible physically and mentally by eating a healthy diet, remaining active through fitness and mental agility, and following an overall healthy lifestyle. We feel as though local communities and healthy social ties are key to moving forward as a society, and continually aim to grow as individuals and a family through learning, loving, and doing.

We are also wine lovers. And, we were struck by how many people, including ourselves, follow a similar healthy lifestyle in all aspects of their lives, but it seems to stop when it comes to wine. Part of this is the ability of wineries to camouflage their winemaking process, including what goes into their wine and what they pull out. However, we have found through extensive research that not all wines are created the same, and this goes far beyond natural or organic wines. Knowledge is power, and we aim to pass along our research and knowledge through articles on the science and methodology behind choosing smarter wines. The importance of the process of growing and nurturing grapes and creating wine, much like the process of growing as humans, nurturing our bodies, and how we are grown, raised, maintained, and continue to grow are strongly interconnected.

Every wine on this site has been extensively researched. Many of the wineries have either been personally visited to view their grape growing and winemaking processes firsthand. As a result, we support many passionate, small, family-owned wineries passed down through generations, and rarely support large, mass-produced wines that are manipulated to create a similar taste bottle after bottle and year after year. We were told this is a bad business strategy, as mass-produced wine that is adulterated to meet a certain taste profile can lead to higher profits. We don’t care. This is a passion project.
