From Karen, Danna and Michael . . . Three friends, a passion for wine and a love of working and creating together fueled the ultimate development and launch of KaDieM Cellars. As with most passionate and creative endeavors, KaDieM has been a project requiring ultimate patience, perseverance, dedicated commitment, continual learning and overwhelmingly satisfying results. It takes about three years to develop a Napa Valley Cabernet from grapes in the vineyard to wine ready to sell. After finding the right vineyards for our inaugural vintage, in addition to numerous lunches, dinners and cups of coffee together, we worked on both the actual making of the wine and the operational fundamentals that go into starting a business: Developing a customer list. Opening a bank account and paying taxes. Designing, choosing and ordering all the packaging elements for the wine. Walking the vineyards, harvesting the grapes, checking the barrels. Securing the required permits and licenses.
