With 12 acres in 1948, John quickly built an excellent reputation as a premium wine grape supplier. In 1988, John, his wife Gail and their children dedicated themselves to the creation of a wine of their own, they brought award-winning winemaker Steve Millier aboard to launch Kautz wines, which would evolve into Ironstone Vineyards, a wine brand dedicated to the production of exceptional wines of unparalleled quality, outstanding value and everyday approachability.
