To Life! With Vie Winery

Published December 7, 2006 5:00am ET



The Vie Winery was started in 2004 by a longtime home winemaker and Rhone varietal enthusiast, Bryan Kane, who turned his avocation into a way of life.

The winery is just that – a winery. They do not own the land or have a vineyard per se. The grapes are sourced from several well known California wine grape-growing regions such as Sonoma, Napa, Lake, Mendocino, and Santa Barbara counties and include notable vineyards Broken Leg, Beatty Ranch, Las Madras, Round River Ranch, Eaglepoint Ranch, Teldeschi, Thompson, White Hawk, and Alta Mesa; they are then brought to a custom crush/winemaking facility. Bryan only uses varietals he is passionate about: syrah, petite sirah, grenache, mourvedre, roussanne, and zinfandel.
