Owners Jessee and Debby Ring started making wine in their basement in 2009, using a colander and potato masher to crush their first grapes. Now at their world-class facility, they make wines from two classic varieties rarely grown in Virginia: Riesling and Pinot Noir. Both are considered to be among the world’s premier grape varieties. Winemaker Jessee Ring is certified by the University of California, Davis. We at JBR devote all our time, energy, and attention to growing the best grapes we can and making the best wine we can.
