Afterwords Wine, located in Napa Valley, was established by Anton and Lisa Van de Plas, with their first wine released in 2019. Anton, originally from the Netherlands, transitioned from a publishing career to winemaking after developing a passion for wine through sommelier courses and visits to California wine regions. Lisa, from Elmira, New York, shares a background in equestrian publishing. The couple moved to Napa in 2012, where they gained experience working at various wineries. The winery's name, Afterwords, symbolizes their shift from publishing to wine production. They collaborate with winemaker Julien Fayard, whose style aligns with their preferences. Afterwords primarily sells its wines directly to consumers via their website, offering allocations to mailing list members. Their wine portfolio includes a range of red blends and varietals, such as the 2022 PREFACE Rosé, a blend of Syrah and Grenache, and several proprietary red blends like NARRATIVE and EPILOGUE. Each wine showcases distinct characteristics, with a focus on fruit expression and balanced tannins. The winery emphasizes quality and craftsmanship, aiming to create wines that reflect their Napa Valley roots.
