Wine Resources LLC was created based on students who “caught the wine bug” during wine classes and certification at College of the Canyons. DiMaggio Washington, their Professor, was able to make a connection and encouraged their interest and commitment to wine. Based on the business class, a requirement for certification, the students had to put together a full business plan and work through every detail. The finished product was then presented by the student (business owner). After completing the class several students shared their interest and commitment to pursuing a career, or even second career in the wine business. Some preferred the enology or viticulture side of things while others had an interest in wine making. Still others expressed a desire for a tasting room or managing sales and distribution.

Out of these classes, conversation and interactions, came the core group who came together to pursue a business, now called Wine Resources LLC.

The focus of Wine Resources LLC is to offer an opportunity to boutique and garagiste wine makers to make their small lot wine in a fully equipped, top of the line winery where they are in full control of their end product. So often, in custom crush facilities, due to space, time, and other wines in house, the staffed wine maker has the say in all the wine making under that roof. We wanted to offer the opportunity to those up and coming wine makers to keep control of their “recipe and end result”. If the wine is great, it’s on them.
