ker Zeke Neeley's connection to Sonoma Valley began in childhood,

when he would come to visit his grandparents, sparking a passion that

ultimately drew him back to its acclaimed vineyards. After earning a

Biochemistry degree and contributing to cancer research in the biotech

homecoming. For him, Kunde represents a unique opportunity to craft wines

from one of California's most historically significant estates and its dramatic

hillside vineyard blocks. Zeke's winemaking philosophy at Kunde is deeply

rooted in showcasing the distinct terroir of the estate. He strives to highlight

the unique characteristics of each vineyard block, allowing the estate-grown

fruit to express its full potential in the glass. With a blend of scientific

understanding and a profound appreciation for Sonoma Valley's heritage,

Our family’s legacy, once enjoyed exclusively within our intimate circle, will soon be available to more than just our friends. It feels like the natural progression of our journey, an opportunity to extend the joy and passion we have cultivated over the years. Given our size, we are only able to produce a limited number of cases annually. A great deal of care goes into each step of the process, from the farming, to production, and the overall magical experience of the estate. We are creating a place where visitors can experience the same sense of wonder and tranquility that drew us to this region. Our vision is to inspire a deeper appreciation for winemaking by offering unforgettable experiences that celebrate quality, community, and nature.

The wine we produce today comes from over 30 years of being an integral part of this valley.

We are so excited to host you, our neighbor and now friend.

Welcome to Adair Winery at the beautiful Vigneto Estate. Cheers!

@michaelpavano Have you heard that Markle's business is re-packaging other people's products by changing the label, just like the peanut butter pretzels??? Here are the real manufacturers: Republic of Tea, Savannah bee company, and William's Sonoma 🤣

@emmagrede Emma, I watched visited your YT channel bc I saw @mellodyhobson was your guest. Now I'm disappointed bc you applaud & promote fraudulent, dishonest business practices. It is wrong to play pretend as a female founder when all you're doing is "re-selling" another's products. Martha Stewart & GOOP do not RE-PACKAGE other people's products with their own labels. Why didn't you ask Markle to explain Badge Engineering? Is this how you run your own businesses by Private Label Manufacturing? So disappointed in you.

@emmagrede Emma, we'd like to here from you on what it takes to be a re-seller. Martha Stewart & GOOP do not RE-PACKAGE other people's products with their own labels. Why didn't you ask her to explain Badge engineering? Is this how you run your own businesses by Private Label Manufacturing?
