Edwards Vineyards and Cellars

We opened our “doors” to Edwards Vineyard & Cellars on March 5, 2011. Since then, as new customers find their way to our outdoor tasting patio in the easternmost portion of Ramona Valley, their first question is usually, “How did we get into the wine business?” Their next question is “how did we learn to make wine.” So I’ll try to put into words the events that have led us to being “bonded, licensed and certifiable.™”
When Victor and I met in 1985, Victor had already received his degree in photography and I was still attending Cuyamaca College as a technical illustration major. Victor was employed by the West Coast’s largest professional photo lab, and I was working for a local newspaper as the creative services director — we were both working artists. Our idea of a great date usually involved a trip to Little Italy to purchase fresh pasta and handcrafted sausages, with a visit to a wine shop to pick out wine after a wine-bar tasting or two, and then a visit to Blockbuster for a movie rental to enjoy. Victor taught me to appreciate great California wines. Silver Oak cabernets, Duckhorn Three Palms merlots, Kenwood Artist Series cabernets and Ridge zinfandels were among some of our favorite weekend indulgences. We were foodies — before there was such a term — and wine just fits with good food.
