As many of you know, Robert and I met at the crossroads of a Bronco II and wine. Our first overnight getaway was two weeks of harvest internships in Napa and Sonoma. Let's be real, we all knew that it was only a matter of time...so it is with great excitement that we invite you along on a journey we embarked on in the fall of 2021.

In the fall of 2021 on the heels of a global pandemic and local wildfire, Robert and I were reminded of "Ohana" (the Hawaiian word for family). Stitch said it best, "Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind." At the height of our inspiration, a family of winemakers, wine grape growers and a region exploding with collaborative passion set us up with the ability to make our very first wine. A 2021 Viognier to debut for our new winery named after artwork born from bad life decisions that transcend time to become a legacy.

Robert made a mistake at work.
They hung it over my desk and called it Robulous.

Everyone started adding to it and over time it became the one thing in the room that drew your attention. That's what we needed for the wines we make. All small lot, a blip you might miss in a sea of producers.

It's also a nod to all of those folks that pushed us, added something...that made Robulous Wine Company what it is, a tip of the hat to every. single. person. that got us here.
