Meg Hughes: Loella Wine
Tongva, Yuhaviatam/Maarenga’yam (Serrano), and Kizh land - Santa Lucia Highlands, California
It's pretty simple, I like good wine and good people and Loella Wines began with that intention. I just wanted to make porch-pounding natural wines for the good people in my life at a price that wouldn't make their pocketbooks weep.
Social Justice and Environmental Restoration Statement
I am the only employee and employee No. 1. Ageism in the Wine Industry and adding to the scope of social justice within wine, my focus is on the cellar teams, vineyard management teams, and harvest workers. The facility I produce my wines at, provides health insurance, farm-to-table meals for every since person in the cellars. Each member has an active roll in the expansion of the winery and are able to produce their own wines there (should they choose.). Through my distribution company I have added links to the Vinguard and hope to continue supporting all projects and community outreach that come from that.
