Holesinsky’s Vineyard and Winery—the first of a growing trend in Idaho’s organic vineyards and wineries—was created by winemaker James Holesinsky to honor of his father Frank’s lifelong dream. Holesinsky’s Vineyard and Winery began in 2001 with the planting of 1000 chardonnay. In 2002 the vineyard grew with the addition of 3000 syrah, 2000 Merlot, and 200 Port (Sauzao, Tiuta Cao, Touragia); the growth continued in 2006 with 1000 Cabernet Sauvignon, 1000 Riesling, and adding Muscat in 2007.
With a love for his product, a dedication to his family, a wide comprehension of wine quality, chemistry, and farming, James Holesinsky has become more than a lab rat or a wine socialite. He has developed into a true artist; creating wines that please the palate and challenge the standards of wine lovers everywhere. The mission of Holesinsky’s Vineyard is to create world class wine with no short cuts, impurities, over processing, filtering, additives, or new oak. All of Holesinsky’s wines are made using certified USDA organic grapes. James states, “The quality of a wine is determined by the story behind it,” and the story of the Holesinsky Vineyard certainly does not lack. |
| Born in Buhl, ID in 1978, James Holesinsky was raised to be a chemist by his father Frank. Though James appreciated the efforts of his father and the ideas behind chemistry, he found his true passion in gardening and in wine making. The land on which the vineyard rests is the childhood home of James and his siblings: only until their house (the center for celebration throughout the community) set afire taking with it precious memories and family heirlooms. It was in this loss that James decided to reclaim the legacy of his family and rebuild a future for his parents, sisters, nieces, and nephews, and one day his own children.
The wines produced at Holesinsky Vineyards are by no means average, but sing songs of passion, creativity, commitment, and a celebration of life and love. In every sip of his wines you can taste the stories of the Holesinsky family. With only the highest of artistic integrity, Holesisnky’s Vineyard and Winery creates some of the most versatile flavors and highest quality wines in the Northwestern states of America. “When someone buys my wine I want them to taste it and know that this is what wine is supposed to taste like,” claims James. |
