EVAN LEWANDOWSKI IS A REALLY LIKABLE GUY MAKING REALLY LIKABLE WINE.  

He hails from Wichita, Kansas. He’s in his early thirties. He’s what most would call religious, but he uses the word "spiritual." He resides in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he moved to attend the University of Utah in 2001, not so much to go to college, but to ski. He probably wouldn’t have ended up in Utah if the Winter Olympics hadn’t been scheduled there for 2002, alerting his high school guidance counselor to the city’s existence. He applied and was accepted without even visiting the campus.  

Fifteen years after college, he’s still in Utah, making wine in a tiny urban winery. He estimates that 99.2% of the wine he produces is made from grapes he harvests in California. After every harvest, he leads a small caravan containing the pressed juice and grapes across Nevada back to Salt Lake City to finish. Despite this, he won’t move to California to make wine. This is strictly because he loves Utah so much. If all goes accordingly, he’ll plant his own vineyard there in the spring of 2017. He has big plans for Utah wine.  

The name of Evan’s winery project is Ruth Lewandowski Wines.  

Ruth Lewandowski doesn’t exist.
