Harvest is the culmination of a year’s work tending the vineyard. A time worth honoring for the diligence and persistence it takes to produce high quality fruit year after year; a hallmark of great wine!

Book Signing
Join us FRIDAY NOV. 6th to meet Dr. Eric “Rabbit” Jorgensen- get a signed copy of his book, grab a glass of wine and hear Eric’s story….relevant to all of us who are working toward navigating this life in a more conscientious team minded way.
We will also offer 10% off any bottle purchases for those who also purchase Eric’s new book WINGMAN LIFE: Living & Leading Like a Fighter Pilot.
Dr. Eric “Rabbit” Jorgensen is a wingman and friend of Jason and Sandy.
Rabbit’s new book, WINGMAN LIFE: Living & Leading Like a Fighter Pilot, explores a counterintuitive idea: becoming a stronger teammate and leader begins not with becoming more commanding, but with becoming a better wingman—more dependable, attentive, courageous, candid, accountable, and helpful to the people counting on us in every area of our lives.
Rabbit is a U.S. Air Force colonel and fighter pilot turned leadership coach, who specializes in helping leaders with complex teams doing complex things survive and thrive together in challenging times. But he is ready to be a wingman for anyone who is committed to improving their own performance as a “wingman” and a “flight lead”​ in their organizations, communities, and families.
