The very first bottle of wine Andis ever sold was to our
good friend and neighbor Isy Borjon. He
came into the tasting room 5 minutes after we opened on that very first day and
bought a bottle of Barbera, took it back home and drank it with his family that
afternoon.
With every bottle of wine opened and enjoyed a small story is
lived - a relaxing evening, a beautiful afternoon at the winery, a date night,
a memorable dinner. That first bottle,
that first story is a perfect way to begin.
Here, almost 4 years later there have been over 150,000 of those small
stories lived while enjoying a bottle of Andis. We have heard some of those stories from
locales across the globe – pictures of Andis in Egypt, Africa, Mexico, South
America, and Europe. Just amazing all
the places and all the stories those bottles have been a part of.
Last week Andy and I were in Seattle pouring the wines at
Canlis, one of the truly great restaurants, not just in Seattle but anywhere in
the United States. They were good
enough to add the Semillon and the Grenache to their wine list where Andis will
now be represented alongside some of the most amazing wines on the planet. Next week we will be in New York City pouring
at a few of the most incredible restaurants there – such a privilege.
We feel so fortunate that people have enjoyed the wines so
much and made us a part of their lives.
It all started with one bottle, who knows where it can go from
here!
