Andrew Januik

Over the course of Andrew Januik's life he has come to believe that there are few fields as exciting and unique as the wine industry. He was fortunate enough to enjoy immersion in the industry for the entirety of his life, and has experienced the perks of wine from a young age when his mother, Carolyn Januik, would have me deliver bottles to his elementary teachers. Back then, wine typically resulted in a turned eye here and there and leniency with late homework assignments, but it has been more recently, with his Stone Cairn wine venture, that he's come to understand the pure fulfillment of the industry.

At the age of twenty six, Andrew was able to say that he'd spent more than half of his life working in the business and knew it would one day be his career, so it was no surprise when he suggested the possibility of creating his own wine to the people closest to him. During his time off and on during school years, he worked fulltime pending his college graduation, harnessing the opportunity to learn and understand all the broader points, and all the finer intricacies, of the wine industry through two of the more experienced and impassioned winemakers in the industry, Mike Januik and Scott Moeller.

It was in 2011 when he would finally start his own wine label, Andrew Januik.
