FROM FARMERS
Generations of family farming, spanning grains to grapes. Iowa to California. Founded by Jonathan W. Walton, son of Phyllis Glassmaker and Robert Marion Walton III in 2015.
Guiding vines' to grapes to wine's bottles may not seem so similar to corn huskin, but the pride of dirty hands, sunburned necks and putting food on tables runs through it all.
Jonathan Walton: fool of a took
Johnny got his start in wine in the tasting rooms of the Salinas Valley as a bored toddler eating oyster crackers off the floor while his father and friends casually imbibed taste after glass of the local red. This guy got his start with organic foods, which lead to fine cheese which lead to the wines of France, Spain, and Italy, which in turn lead to the soils of the vineyards of Sonoma, Marlborough, Lodi CoCo. and Monterey. After a bit of blood and sweat at Brooklyn Oenology, Martinelli, Huia, and Failla, JW figured it was time to put his money where his mouth is... and Glassmaker Wine Company is what happened!
and synesthesia
Smelling grape wine fucks with your head if you let it... in a good way.
