About Us

After 25 years of exploring and tasting various wines around the world, I decided to create a wine that embodies my personal taste and experiences. What I learned is that Meritage red wine fits the style of wine I enjoy the most, its aroma, its finish, and what it pairs well with. The result is Patriot Winery (patriotwinery.com) where I developed my signature Red Meritage.
