Tom Amabile, the founder of Cream Ridge Winery, had a special philosophy for how to grow, make, and drink wine. Tom's passion for life, music, food and wine made him one of the most unique and special people you would ever want to meet. Cream Ridge Winery CEO, Tim Schlitzer, gathered all his notes from Tom’s life and wine lessons and has written The Art of Enology: A Winemaker's Lessons for a Fruitful Life. The book is currently for sale in the winery. Cheers!
