Shireen: My brothers and I work in the Wine Tasting room with our parents and help with the parties. I love working here because Im the Employee of the Monthevery month. (smile)Tammy: Were a family-owned winery, with our horse ranch and winery in Ramona, and wine-tasting room located in historic Old Town, San Diego. My husband makes the wine and I pour the wine, and our children help with various parts of the business as well. We breed and raise Peruvian Paso Horses, with many of the wines named after our horses. Combining our two passions, our family motto is Drink Fine WineRide Fine Horses
William: It really all started with Tammys dream. She wanted to own horses, and I said, Lets do it. So we bought some land in Ramona with a beautiful adobe home, and 600 dead apple trees. We cleared the trees, and then I decided to plant some wine grapes, just for fun.
Tammy: William then decided to get serious and went to UC Davis to study vitaculture, and then interned with an old Italian wine maker, visited Tuscany and learned the magic and secrets of making incredibly great wines.
William: We name our wines after our Peruvian Paso horses . The golden horse on our label is Promesa de Perfection which means the promise of perfection in every bottle. This palomino is named after a real palomino horse in our stables.
And this wine is named Maximus, after our black stallion.
Our late harvest wine is named for our daughter, Shireen. The name Shireen is the Persian word for sweet, and this is a very sweet wine. We will still need to make some wines named after our sons. (smiles)
Tammy: Our place is about fun, and we have a lovely garden room for hosting group parties and events. If you are looking to host a networking or fundraising event, or any other type of party, please contact us.we can make it fun and entertaining.
