A Family Affair

All those years of shared toil have resulted in a remarkably tight-knit family—they live within a one-mile radius of each other, work together at the winery (Deneen as CEO, Coral as director of sales and promotions, and David as winegrower), and hold weekly meetings that touch on everything from family gossip to the latest grape blend.
