“I knew wine was a living thing, but I truly didn’t appreciate how unpredictable the wine-making process is, from vine to bottle. There are so many ups and downs along the way from vine to glass, sometimes making you constantly second-guess yourself. With a couple of vintages under my belt now, I know that they are going to be great wines if I just have patience with the process.” — Ken Wallis

“We strive for a subtle sophisticated Pinot in the style of a French Burgundy. I work closely with my winemakers on the final blends to produce a wine that is unique and complex and truly reflects my vineyard.” — Suzanne Farver

“What makes working with Pinot Noir so special is how it can truly show a sense of place, seeing the difference from neighboring vineyards or even sites miles away is always a revelation.” — Sam Buckingham

“I decided I wanted to start my own winery in order to explore Pinot noir further – see what different regions, vineyards and clones could do.” — Jennie Murphy

“A large part of what I love about Marin is the obvious maritime influence. I’m competing with cows, not condos, for my patch of ground.” — Stewart Johnson
