Tyler Thomas
President & Winemaker, Dierberg Vineyards
Randy and the VPS team have been a tremendous resource for our operation. They epitomize professionalism in viticulture and farming operations with their acumen, response times, and communication. As a winemaker, I particularly enjoy Randy's enthusiasm for wine which results in an appreciation of the wider picture of the business.
