Estate Red Wine won Silver Medal!

We've recently received a Silver Medal from the Lum Eisenman Wine Competition for our estate Red Wine, a delicious blend of estate Cabernet Sauvignon and estate Merlot. The wine was aged for 18 months in American oak barrel. Having a medal with Lum Eisenman's name on it a lot to me even though this wine competition is a tiny competition compared to other medals that we've won from much much bigger competitions with entries from established wineries from every corner of the world. This medal means so much to me personally because of Lum Eisenman himself. Lum is our mentor from ground zero! He taught us the basics of winemaking 15 years ago. I still have a tattered copy of notes that I took during the two year "internship". Considering the fact that I was a wine novice with no background in winemaking whatsoever and a woman, Lum did not laugh at me when I first met him and told him that I was interested in his mentorship program and wanted to learn how to make wine from him. Anyone else would have laughed their head off and would have told me to go away. But not Lum, he created a mentorship program for us and tutored us every step of the way. I attribute all of the best winemaking practices to Lum. Lum is the most giving and generous person in the wine industry that I've met.
