Food and Beverage > Beverages
We are the sole owners and employees of Rulo Winery. Kurt is the solo winemaker; Vicki is the worker bee. We share all other winery tasks equally from vineyard checks to tank washing to tasting room responsibilities to distribution to paperwork to cleaning toilets. We are control freaks. The entire day in and day out operation of our winery is dependant on the two of us and we can guarantee you we are not a hobby winery. This is a labor of love and more than a full time gig. That being said, we are extremely fortunate and eternally grateful for our wonderful family and friends who continue to donate many hours to assist us during crush, bottling, and event weekends.
On the financial side, we have no investors or partners. We built our winery using our savings account and incurring a large mortgage. We sleep at night knowing that if we fail we take no one down that path with us. On the distribution front, we have elected for no third party distribution involvement. It is important to us that we know our retailers and that they know us. We load up our Chevy pick-up with cases of wine and deliver to restaurants and shops personally. We do utilize FedEx and UPS for direct to consumer shipments.
