Iconic American surfer and surfboard shaper He is most famous as one of the subjects of Bruce Brown’s 1966 surf documentary The Endless Summer. While continuing to promote surfing, along the way, he fell in love with wine. His philosophy is “Wine is about passion for life. A great bottle reflects the uniqueness of a place because the sun, wind, soil, and people of a region is captured in that grape. Just like waves are affected by nature, wine is a mirror of where it was grown. And just like every surfer has his or her own style, wine reflects the style of it’s winemaker….My wines are laid back, easy to enjoy, and not a so expensive that you have to save it for a special occasion. I try to live life to it’s fullest every day, and these wines are meant to celebrate that spirit.” We will be tasting both his Merlot and Pinot Grigio.
