The three - an entrepreneur, an artist and a wine aficionado met while working at Deerfield Ranch Winery under the tutelage of master winemaker Robert Rex. They studied and strive for the perfection of an elegantly balanced wine; equal parts technical mastery and art. It was Robert who taught that the essence of winemaking is "getting to know your grapes" and to be with your wine literally from the vine to the bottle. They've taken this knowledge and deep understanding of the agricultural surroundings to choose the best varietals and processes for each wine.
Idle Cellars seeks to provide the best of Sonoma and of wine craftsmanship. Their wines bring people together, be it at a lively dinner party or a lazy BBQ.

Courtney's French was quite rusty but she soon learned that Bis meant again or encore. Together they longed to recreate a European style of service with a rangy American menu to delight guests. The cozy, sixty-four seat space in the heart of Simsbury, Connecticut just west of Hartford became the perfect backdrop to Chris' creative culinary expression and the "bistro that makes you want to shout encore" was born.
