Marvelous plump, purple and green fruits adorn the hillsides every summer. Every winter Todd and his eldest child, Amanda, consult with the vineyard manager as they discuss the pruning methods to ensure the proper balance of quantity and quality. Our vineyards are closely overseen to estimate the proper harvesting times in autumn.
Family is very important to the AJA recipe. It is in the name. AJA is an acronym for the names of Todd and Heather's three children, Alec, Jack, and Amanda. They continue to be the inspiration for their desire to live a robust and happy life – oh, and also to produce great wine! The children provide them with a sense of family that drives them to make something special.
When one tastes our wine, they catch the smell of sweetness, the taste of serenity, and a slight bitterness to remind us that at times, not everything is perfect. These elements are all harnessed in the passion to make great wine that brings friends and families together.
