Founded in 2018 by Michael Kennedy with one goal: to be a family of wineries with a common thread of small production, site-specific, terroir driven wines from California, Oregon, Washington, Italy & France. Following the creation of the Component Wine Company in 2014, Michael started SOM wines with some industry friends and a year later he connected with top winemaker Marc Gagnon to create Gagnon-Kennedy vineyards. Vin Fraîche wine group is not a typical wine group, they do not intend to buy-up vineyards with grand names and reputations. Their goal is to make wines from the best sources, with the best people in the industry.
