“By selecting the name Fest Wine Co, we wanted to convey the idea that opening a bottle of wine can be a celebration itself.” — Michael Schriefer

“I like the fact that while we make multiple vintages from the same vineyards we do not subscribe to a house or consistent style between vintages. This allows us to give voice to the vineyards each year and celebrate the uniqueness of each vintage.” — Rob Barney

“Small-lot winemakers are the soul of the industry. We’re the innovators, the romantics, the passion-driven fanatics who move the industry forward.” — Shannon Stegner
