Meet the Partners
Tom & Brenda Conroy
For Tom and Brenda, wine is much more than a beverage – it’s a lifelong passion that nurtures both intellect and soul. Tom appreciates the science of wine, following it from grape to glass. He dives deep into the technical and historical intricacies of each bottle, the soil composition, and how each can transform taste and aroma.
As for Brenda, she views wine as a passport to the world, appreciating the cultural adventures and unforgettable experiences each vineyard brings.
Fred & Terri McQueary
Fred and Terri share a deep passion for wine that has not only brought them together but also continues to shape their world in profound ways. Their love affair with wine began when they met at a wine tasting event over 30 years ago.
Fred and Terri not only deepened their connection with each other but also cultivated a deeper appreciation for the artistry and complexity of the world of wine. Sharing a bottle of wine serves as a constant reminder of the beauty of life’s simple pleasures and the importance of savoring each moment spent together.
Dan & Amanda Pinheiro
For Dan, the fruit aromas evoke memories of growing up in Portugal with a vineyard in his backyard, watching as his grandfather tended the vines, and helping him to harvest and stomp the grapes. For Amanda, they evoke sweet memories of loved ones and of exploring the beautiful landscapes of various wine producing regions. The aromas of wood, yeast and earth, remind Dan of his first job as a tour guide in a winery.
They both marvel at how the same fruit and even the same varietal can produce such a multitude of distinct flavors and aromas. They are both happiest talking and teaching about, and sipping and savoring wine.
