What started out as a small tasting group called “Mad Dog” and maturing into “The Downtown Oenilogical Group” this core circle of friends sought the experience of winemaking to deepen their understanding  and appreciation as end users.  With each backyard and loading dock vintage under their belt, the desire to go deeper took root.   In 2012, with a unique and varied skill set, this group created Laelaps, a true commercial enterprise.   To each of us, Laelaps represents  the endless pursuit of that which is genuine, perfect, and really tasty.
