​We fell in love with Sonoma while vacationing here in 2008. It reminded us of one of our other favorite spots, Italy. At the time we were living in Boulder, juggling hectic careers and three kids. I was in environmental consulting and Amy was running her own event planning business, both of which required crazy hours and lots of travel, away from our family. Starting a business together was always in the back of our minds, and we were feeling very inspired while exploring Sonoma. We've always loved Limoncello and thought it would be cool to bring our favorite 'sunshine in a bottle' to Wine Country. Even after we returned home, we couldn't shake the idea of producing a California version of Limoncello, so we decided to follow our dream and move the family to Sonoma. Everyone thought we were nuts. It's been a long haul, but we have managed to create an (award-winning) Limoncello, appropriately named Limoncello di Sonoma. The whole community is involved and our peeling parties have turned into a huge gathering of adults and kids helping us peel 3,500 lemons in one afternoon. Since the launch of our Limoncello, our company has grown to include over 30 different products! Right now we're just trying to keep up with the demand and spread the word. It's the California dream everyone talks about and we're living it, right here and right now!
