about the owner: Glenn Lucas
I have worked in the wine industry for a decade gaining practical experience in nearly every aspect; from a small garage winery in VA being fed fruit from their front yard, to a 1.5 million liter custom crush in New Zealand. From a boutique organic vineyard in southern France, to one of the largest commercial vineyards on the east coast. My natural curiosity and heightened observational skills have led me around the world chasing every opportunity to understand what is required to grow great grapes and make great wine.
My experience is bolstered by knowledge gained from time spent at the University of Maryland where I received my B.S. in Plant Science and worked in the Grape and Small Fruit Pathology Lab. In a constant desire to improve I have also studied under the Guild of Master Sommeliers to develop my palate and increase my global wine knowledge.
Through study and experience I have the ability to successfully see newly planted grapevines turned into delicious wine. I have done it many times over for others, and I can do it for you too.
