We started the Pazdar Winery in 1995 to produce Innovative Unique Boutique and Hand Crafted Premium Wines with Attitude. The first wines were released June 1996. To ensure quality, the wines are hand-crafted using the finest grapes, fresh pressed fruit juice, and finest winemaking techniques from Europe and the United States. They are carefully aged. It is only when they have reached the desired flavor, that they are bottled and sold.
Profile of the Winemaker:
David Pazdar - the winery has been his dream since his days as a college student. He received a BS in Chemistry with an emphasis on winemaking from the University of Connecticut in 1984. His thesis was on the chemistry and aging of wine. In 1995 he received an MBA in Finance / Operations Management from Western Connecticut State University. He has worked for over 10 years in the beverage industry and related areas including that as the Winemaker / Assistant Winemaster for a major winery. In addition he worked with other wineries, juice companies, and a brandy distillery where he developed premium fruit flavored brandies.
At this time we choose not to have a tasting room. Instead we enjoy going into various communities and getting to know our customers on personal basis at farm markets and festivals.
