Their passion for wine began innocently enough when they attended a Passport Weekend in the Sierra Foothills. Living in Placerville, the heart of the Foothills, they knew about wine and the wineries around them but…not all that much. “Rainy days were made for wine tasting. We’d go to the local wineries and just hang out. And that’s how the story begins for Dave and Kim Pratt of dkcellars (D for Dave, K for Kim) in Fair Play, a little town and newly recognized appellation in the Sierra Foothills. They bought a vineyard and renamed it Pratt Vineyards (a vanity move). Dave’s itch was being scratched. “They” say footprints in the soil are a sign of a good vineyard. Dave and Kim walk and work their vines diligently, leaving a lasting impression of themselves upon their wines. Kim did all the non-vineyard work as well as designing the labels and seeing to the marketing. Her design of the label and corresponding color-coded neck wrap are very eye-catching and market savvy. Together, Dave and Kim were proving themselves to be a very good team. A unique approach but one that personifies their techie background. Our commitment is to release the wines when they are ready and ONLY when they are ready to enjoy. Old world traditions, new world wines.
