I think the ‘resort wine’ business has probably done more for him than Davey C. ever did. Thirty years from now Lil Jon and the others may well be completely forgotten – unless they make really good wine…

I am on the winemaking team at Fess Parker Winery and our sister label, Epiphany Cellars. We are very proud of the quality of the wines we produce and are happy to put them up against any ‘non-celebrity’ wine.

We are also proud of our namesake and the vision he had to put the winery together. The winery will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary next year, and Fess and his children, Eli and Ashley (along with Ashley’s husband, Tim Snider, our President), will be around often to enjoy the fruits of their labor. The next generation have helped take the winery to a new level quality-wise.

Thanks again!

Cheers!
