"When you ship wine, there are inherent stability issues."

"Most people who think they're allergic to sulfur are not, they're usually allergic to something else in the wine."

"When we started, everybody told us we were doing things wrong, but there's been a huge fundamental shift in California where people are taking the time to learn what we're doing instead of just labeling it 'wrong' "
