We're honored to have been featured in over 100 publications, and it's always so compelling to hear what an outside observer has to say about our story, our wines, and the broader, emerging world of Colorado wine.

Their Land, Their Words
In 2019, the John Deere company produced a series of stories on farmers across North America and featured us in a national ad campaign, "Their Land, Their Words," with over 4 million views on these two social channels.
This has to be one of our favorite experiences. Having an eight-person team show up and follow us around riding the tractor and the Gator was a complete blast that we didn't see coming, especially since we'd only become tractor drivers two years before this shoot!
now for something completely different!

Such Great Heights
kind words
"Tucked between the quaint mountain towns of Paonia and Hotchkiss on the chalky soils of the West Elks, The Storm Cellar is a boutique winery with a fierce focus on elegant high-elevation whites and rosés. To visit The Storm Cellar is to learn the story of how two highly accomplished and gutsy sommeliers quit their day jobs to go from pouring wine to making wine."

"Henderson and Steese are part of a growing group of winemakers making quality bottlings in what has become the new wine frontier in America – the interior western states of Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado."
