ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Black Sheep Finds is behind Holus Bolus, The Joy Fantastic, and Wineslut. It was founded by husband and wire winemaking partners Peter Hunken and Amy Christine, who holds an MW (Master of Wine). Of their style, they say: “We aren’t trendy — that’s not what we do. We work with time-honored noble varieties and we strive to produce wines that are elegant, restrained and provide a sense of refreshment.”
ABOUT THE VINEYARD: Presqu’ile Vineyards
Presqu’ile (‘press-keel’) Vineyards is a family-owned vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley growing cool-climate Syrah.
ABOUT THE LABEL: “Our first label, Holus Bolus, has an octopus on the label. The octopus represents our 4 arms and 4 legs. It’s just the 2 of us. We have no employees, so everything in the bottle comes from our two hands.” - Amy Christine
