OUR STORY
Meet the Owners
Welcome to Vino and Sancerre, where the love story of fine wines unfolds through the eyes of owners, Matt and Natalie. Matt, whose roots trace back to his family's Italian restaurant, brings a zest for life cultivated in the kitchen, while I, Natalie, with my background in the vibrant hospitality scene, infuse a touch of sophistication into our winemaking journey.
Beyond the vineyards, Matt finds solace in the art of blending flavors, a skill honed through years of experimenting in the kitchen. His love for culinary arts extends to his fascination with rare spices, and you'll often find him concocting unique blends to complement our wine offerings. On the other hand, my passion lies in the art of storytelling and visual expression. Photography and painting are my chosen mediums, capturing the essence of our vineyard's beauty and the evolving narrative of each bottle.
