Dream it and go for it!
Bob started making wine in 1968, never dreaming he’d eventually open and run a vineyard and winery. But that started in 2005 with the planting of the first hybrid grapes, and continued in 2009 with the construction of the winery. Sort of retired from pastoring small United Church of Christ churches, he now follows his life-long passion and loves every minute of it.
Make it a passion!
Marilyn (left), Bob’s wife, is a retired speech pathologist and life-long gardener among many other things. She manages the tasting room and does a lot of support work in the vineyard.
Melodie is Bob’s vineyard and winery associate, helping him with all of the varied tasks that produce their award winning wines. She managed a landscaping business and a couple of brew pubs in Wisconsin but now calls Montana home. We’ve all known each other more than 40 years!
