Sunny named her winery "Future Perfect," a verb tense that signifies completion in the future, embodying the hope and promise she finds in the vineyards. In spring, during bud break, she marvels at the thought that these vines will one day produce grapes that become wine, enjoyed in moments of joy with friends, food, and laughter. For Sunny, it’s a breathtaking reminder of life’s extraordinary miracles. Cheers to YOUR Future Perfect, as she likes to say!

Sunny, originally from Dayton, Ohio, spent much of her life in Los Angeles as an actor in TV and film before moving to Los Olivos, California, in 2017 with her husband Nate to start a small farm. Her passion for wine, backed by a WSET Level 2 with Distinction Certification, inspired her to create Future Perfect Wine, embracing the belief that passion is greater than fear. Mentored by Jessica Gasca and later Amy Christine and Peter Hunken, Sunny honed her craft and launched her first full harvest in 2020. Nate, her supportive husband and "Assistant to the Winemaker," plays a vital role in every step, from harvest to sharing their wines, making Future Perfect Wine a true labor of love.
