Stephen Barrante

Stephen has always been fascinated with cars and speed. For him, nothing quite combines the exhilaration and fear-of-god better than screaming around a racetrack at 140 mph. It’s that fine line between pure joy and total disaster that makes the experience truly amazing for Stephen. While his dreams of becoming a professional race-car driver may never be realized, for Stephen, the occasional track day is the perfect “reset button” for everyday life..

When it comes to food, there are three things Stephen can’t live without: wine, cheese and dark chocolate. Regular consumption inspired Stephen to try manufacturing these products himself; however, it seems as if wine is the most achievable. Stephen recognizes that creating a good wine is a craft that will take him many years to master. But as with many things, sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
