Modales

Originally from Lake County in Northern California, Andrew worked in wine production under mentor, Jed Steele of Steele Wines as well with the Duckhorn Portfolio. After realizing that working for a brand making over 2 million cases wasn't what he wanted to do, he found himself in Michigan. Owners of Modales, Jim & Carol Gonzalez had purchased a vineyard & began selling their grapes to other wineries. After realizing that they could be making wine from their grapes, Andrew helped make the first release of Modales in 2016 . Working with over 15 grape varieties such as Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, newly planted Gamay, experimental plantings of Petit Manseng & Tannat to name a few, Andrew is steadily pushing the boundaries of Michigan wine. In a recent article by Dorothy Gaiter & John Brecher Andrew says that the Gonzalezes give him "Carte Blanche" to create terroir driven, low intervention wines that show the excellence that is possible from Michigan grown grapes.
