Wines without pretense and the quality speaks for itself. I want the wines to taste good, feel good, and integrate seamlessly with the experience of dining or enjoying a glass all on its own, but ultimately become part of the memory with family and friends.
The abridged version... I am the 9th and youngest child of Marion (Cole) and Vallie Stone from Lawler, Iowa. I started, own, and manage CRU9; a California winery.
You may be wondering how an Iowa farm girl gets involved with the fine wine business. I've always loved wine as a consumer, but as a farmer, I want to know about the crop...
