Vision Cellars is a passionate boutique award winning winery specializing in Pinot Noir. Established in 1995, however, the first release was the 1997 vintage. Our goal is to capture the essence of the Pinot Noir Grape. We are very proud of our accomplishments thus far and strive to continue our education towards that goal. Enjoy our Vision.

I was born the son of a Texas Moonshine maker. My Father, Sue, was considered by many to be the finest Moonshine maker in all of Texas, because of the fine grains he used to make his corn whiskey. My Mother Elbessie, along with her brothers and sister, made wine from the various fruit we grew. Even though I grew up around distilled spirits and fruit wines, I did not develop a taste for either. It was not until I tasted my first Burgundy, long about 1955, that I fell in love with fine wine. In that year, I happened upon a taste of 1952 Burgundy, and vowed to myself then and there that I would someday aspire to make a wine as fine as that. Years later, after tasting Pinot Noir from the world over and following several trips to Burgundy France, my wife Lil and I purchased the best fruit available to us and my personal vision to become a winemaker was realized, with our first bottling of our 1997 Pinot Noir... so named "Vision Cellars." My sincere wish is that you enjoy this wine while sharing it with others and you will appreciate my "Vision"... — Mac McDonald
