Eric Smith
The 'ER' of Eralto
Winemaker
I make wine, and so enjoy working with long time friends who are family.
A business engaging in the creative process; diving endlessly into complex systems of wine-making, trade and culture, finding purpose; having fun; panicking, indulging;
expanding and evolving.
Yes... that's truly
wine-making. Cheers!
Alan Grant
The 'AL' of Eralto
Vine Wrangler
Planting this vineyard
was kind of my idea.
Creating a product that we can watch grow in the vineyard from a plant, bud all the way to fine wine in a glass.
My role is to go step by step
with Eric toward to final product.
I am grateful to be able to work
with passionate friends
I have known for so many years.
Tom Cole
The 'TO' of Eralto
Proprietor
I own the dirt!
Wine making
is a year-round commitment
It requires you to always stay on your game. The seasonality and the ability to make wine is a true art much like playing music, knowing not two vintages will ever be the same, that's what makes this line of work so interesting.
