the risk that
started it all.
calculated risk is dedicated to austin and reece, the middle names of two brothers who grew up watching their dad build something from the ground up.
in 2008, their dad made a calculated risk of his own; leaving minnesota for california wine country. the wines that followed inspired the name and the belief behind everything that came after.
they saw the long days, the uncertainty, the wins, the setbacks, and the moments where the only way forward was to trust the work and keep your head up.
why wine?
because for thousands of years, wine has brought people together.wine gives people a reason to gather.
wine has always been about more than what's in the glass.
we're just honored to have a seat at the table.
