“You have to be inspired ... I thought, this is it.”
Deborah Hall, the owner of Gypsy Canyon winery in Santa Barbara, understands that business is all about crafting something out of nothing. When she and her husband Bill bought a dilapidated lima bean farm, the visionary pair began plans to transform the property into an idyllic vineyard. On the cusp of their semi-retirement, Bill passed away from bone cancer. Alone with two children to raise, Deborah summoned the strength to keep the family’s dream alive.
Despite no experience in wine making, and countless hiccups along the way, Deborah is now the producer of a rare dessert wine called Angelica. Made from the old Mission grapes she found on her property, her Angelica is an experience in the true art of wine making. And lest you think that the fine wine market has tanked with the economy, Deborah has such a high demand that her vino is only available through an exclusive club with a waiting list!
