Epiphany, a local Rhone-focused winemaking label, is celebrating 2020 as its 20^th anniversary with anniversary-specific releases such as Grenache Rosé in magnum, events at its tasting room in Los Olivos, and expanded efforts in wholesale markets across Southern California.

“It’s a happy milestone for us, to get to celebrate not just 20 years of focus on the Rhone varietals that make Epiphany’s wines best-in-class, but the quality of grapes from our family estate that make our emphasis on single-vineyard wines possible,” said Eli Parker, co-owner of the Fess Parker Family Portfolio and Epiphany’s founder and former head winemaker.

“Just having celebrated the 30^th anniversary of Fess Parker Winery last year, we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come as a winemaking family in Santa Barbara County and really cherishing this year as Epiphany’s big year,” said Ashley Parker Snider, co-owner of the Fess Parker Family Portfolio. “Epiphany has always been rooted in the thrill of discovery – whether you’re trying Counoise for the first time or experiencing Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre in a whole new way.”

“Whether you first experienced Epiphany wines at our tasting room in downtown Los Olivos or on premise at fine dining restaurants around Southern California, we hear over and over from customers that they’ve been hooked – by the fun of the brand and the quality of the wines,” said Tim Snider, president of Fess Parker’s wine business and chief marketing officer of the Fess Parker Family Portfolio.

“We’re marking this 20^th anniversary in deep appreciation of our incredible winemaking team, the customers and club members who have sustained the program over the last two decades, and in celebration of the next round of folks who are about to discover Epiphany for themselves,” he said.
