2000's

Brad, Phil and Marty Peterson pursued University level educations with wine growing in mind; the boys studied Viticulture (Study of Grape Growing), Enology (Study of Winemaking), and Agricultural Economics. They also explored real world work in wineries and farming operations around the state. This knowledge and experience was brought home and applied to the rich traditions of the three generations before to create the wine they called "ONUS" - The burden of proof.
