Why we're here
Stepping off the treadmill.
Kimberly caught the wine bug while living in Chile as a college student. She carried it back to Washington, D.C., where she met Kirk — and through tastings, travel, and unforgettable trips to Tuscany, Chile, and Napa, the obsession took root.
In 2016, we left the East Coast for the Rogue Valley with three young children. In 2024, we opened the downtown Ashland tasting room. After UC Davis chemistry and a crash course in plumbing, Kimberly returned to winemaking — this time on her own terms.
Low-intervention. People over machines. Each vintage allowed to speak for itself.

Frequently asked
Things you forget to think about before you go wine tasting.
Do I need a reservation?
Reservations are always appreciated! Walk-ins are welcome Thursday–Saturday from 2–7 pm and Sunday 2–6 pm.
What are your hours?
Thursday 2–7 pm · Friday 2–7 pm (Wood-Fired Pies & Vines) · Saturday 2–7 pm · Sunday 2–6 pm.
Can I bring my kids?
Sure, as long as they don't use the barrels as bongos. We're family-friendly.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, if they're cool. If your dog's nicer than most humans — perfect. If not, maybe let them guard the couch instead.
What kind of wine do you make?
Syrah, Malbec, Cab Sauv, Tempranillo, Sauvy B, Chenin Blanc, Rosé, and whatever other rebellious surprises we bottled last.
Do you ship wine?
We do ship wine! Except to those states that still think Prohibition was a good idea. (Looking at you, Utah.)
What is the deal with the name?
Because following the rules never made great wine — or great stories. Resistance is more than a label; it's a lifestyle.
Can I host my event here?
Heck ya! We love throwing parties. Birthdays, shows, divorces, board meetings — we don't judge. Just know the wine will upstage your PowerPoint.
What should I wear?
Whatever you can spill Syrah on without crying. Although, Lin usually has a Tide Stick in their bag for emergencies. Somm things.
