Desparada
Vailia, I know, it's kind of an odd name. I was named after my grandmother, my mom's mom. I'd like to think that I got some of her strength, confidence, and pluck. She showed me the importance of packing light, keeping your friends close, and following your heart. That's where the name comes from - here's the stuff that you want to know: before I dropped out of high school, I was a 4H star and a straight-A student. I once got arrested in an airport for forgetting that my grandmother's beretta was in my purse. I spent two years living in a 1977 Royal International trailer on Pine Hawk vineyard, where the idea of Desparada was born. I make my own deodorant.
-Vailia From
“The wines of Desparada are guided more by spirit than style. I don’t trust dogma; I also don’t seek recklessness. In my head I’m an Italian and Bordeaux varietal producer, can speak 12 languages fluently, and own a house with a secret staircase. ”
