Chris West started his winemaking back in 1998 in his and Jen’s kitchen. After entering several amateur competitions and winning with his fruit wines, it became apparent that he and Jen needed to start their own winery.
Chris’ philosophy has always been that enjoying wine should be fun and simple, just like the basic process of making wine.
His belief that anyone can make wine has led him to begin teaching others various winemaking techniques.
Chris also does beginner to advanced wine tastings and education classes across the Midwest.
Prior to becoming a winemaker, Chris worked for the University of Missouri in HR, Procurement, and Database Informatics. All of these skills are used today in some shape or form in the winery.
