QUADY WINERY, CALIFORNIA

Andrew Quady's change of career from making fireworks to making wine produced an explosion of its own kind when he created Essensia.  

Following the success of Essensia, Andy's next creation was Elysium from the Black Muscat grape, which is magenta in colour, with a haunting rose-like aroma.

In 1975 Quady's first port was made from Amador County Zinfandel. 

Andy, needing to rename his port for European sales, used some convoluted logic to arrive at a new name. 

Quady is the foremost American winery specialising entirely in dessert wines and continues to win medals worldwide.
