Winemaker Spotlight: Desperada Wines and Herman Story Wines

Winemaker Spotlight:

From Russell P From, Herman Story Wines
At the end of the day, we make wines that’ll pair just as well with a triple-stacked bacon cheeseburger as they will with an extravagant eight-course tasting menu. Wines you can contemplate at a massive mahogany desk or chug while your friend falls from a keg-stand into an inflatable pool of Jello. Either way, they’re a damn good time.

Desperada is winemaker, Vailia From’s bold venture into the space between earth and imagination.
Vailia From describes herself as a traveler by nature and says “Desparada is what carries me.”  Working with 17+ of the Central Coast’s most iconic vineyards and a growing arsenal of amphorae, Desparada creates inspired, elegant wines free of stylistic constraints. These are wines for a new world, rooted firmly in the wonder of the old.
