The Company produced revenue of $17,938,872 and $15,156,159 in the years of 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $2,782,713, or 18.4%, in the current year compared to the prior year.

Jim Bernau, Founder and President of the winery, said "This was our most productive year ever, with substantial Pinot Noir plantings in the Eola Hills AVA, building a stronger winemaking team and an oversubscribed Preferred Stock Offering adding 4,000 more wine enthusiasts to our ownership base - what a year!"
