Trinitas, the Latin word for Trinity, is a fundamental principle of Christianity. At Trinitas Cellars, Trinity also symbolizes the sun, the soil, and humanity. These are the three components that join to create the perfect wine. The founders of Trinitas Cellars are Tim and Steph Busch. Tim is a co-founder of the Magis Institute which sponsors a host of spiritual events including retreats, ethics training, and wealth stewardship forums. Additionally, he serves on boards for The Catholic University of America, Patrons of the Vatican Arts, the John Paul II Cultural Center, and the Papal Foundation. Tim and Steph live in Orange County and enjoy traveling, golfing, and wine. Their passion for wine called them to found Trinitas Cellars in 2000. In 2006 they opened the Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa, California. The resort also houses the Estate Cave, the winery's unique tasting room. Winemaker Kevin Mills grew up in Oklahoma where he and his family have grown vines since 1977. After years of hard work and many "interesting" wines, he decided to go to school. He enrolled in Grayson County College's Viticulture and Enology program in Texas. Kevin met Tony Peju of Peju Province Winery, and he mentored under then Peju winemaker Sean Foster. Kevin took the winemaker position for Trinitas Cellars in January 2007. His emphasis is to mainstream Trinitas with top tier Bordeaux and Burgundy varietals. Trinitas Cellars celebrates the connection between sun, soil and humanity by working closely with its grower society in northern California. With this professional collaboration, they source grapes from the vintages and regions where climate and soil conditions are most favorable. Trinitas takes small quantities of exceptional-quality grapes, then handcrafts them into approachable California-style wines. January 2010 Limited Series Newsletter (.pdf)
