About
We dreamed of owning a vineyard and making wine since we first met in 1983. It took us a decade before we'd plant our first vine, and then another six years before we'd find this magnificent vineyard in Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley. Along the way we learned a lot! Most importantly, that wine is a source of endless discovery and rich friendships.
Amista translates as "it makes friends" and in our experience creating this winery has been all about friendship. At each step in our journey, we've had friends encouraging, guiding and helping us realize our dream of owning a winery. Their enthusiasm and interest taught us that not only do we take great pleasure in growing grapes and making wine, but that we're invigorated by sharing our experience with others. And so, we've created a winery that welcomes old and new friends alike, to join us in exploring the natural rhythm and splendid beauty of wine country living. Amista Vineyards grew out of a dream. Like many dreams, it revealed itself slowly, leading us down a path of discovery that continues to engross us to this day. Our dream begins with our enjoyment of wine; Mike's training as a chemist moves it forward — he enjoys discovering and defining natural processes; and the encouragement and support of our friends nourishes its progress. From our earliest experiments as garage winemakers, through our exploratory years outside of California, and right up to last night's dinner with friends, we've found that wine, as a subject of conversation and an accompaniment to a meal, serves as a magnet drawing new and interesting people into our lives.
