Quick facts:

• Shaunt and Diego make both the Les Lunes and Populis wines: the Populis wines are more youthful, fruit-forward, and playful.
• They called this line “Populis” because it’s meant to be “wine for the people!”–delicious, honest, and affordable.
• Their “production facility” is literally the basement of Shaunt’s parents’ house.
• The only addition during the winemaking process is a small amount of sulfur at bottling, only if needed.
