History
After moving to Vancouver, WA from the Midwest in 1993, Janine carried with her a passion for both hiking and wine. A connoisseur in both, she met her husband who was an avid hiker and expert of different beer varieties. Upon meeting, they fused their two passions together to form a business that has become a hallmark within Vancouver, WA and the larger area. At the outset, the organization began when they were raising their kids and desired additional funding for their activities of baseball and marching band. However, with their passion for the wine industry, they decided to take it a step further years later to make it into a full-fledged business. Their passion for wine and beer, along with the outdoors, has made them a perfect match and a great experience for whoever wants to take the jump and try something new.
