Resistance Wine Company

Winner of the 2023 Oregon Wine Experience – Best in Show and Best in Class for the 2018 Syrah and 2019 Malbec. —- Have you ever dreamed of stepping off the treadmill and following your passion? Of living life with purpose and defining success on your own terms? That’s exactly what Kimberly and Kirk did when they founded Resistance Wine Company. Kimberly’s journey with wine began when she lived in Chile and caught the wine bug. She returned to Washington DC, where she met Kirk and planned on going to law school to become a wine lawyer. Kimberly introduced Kirk to the world of wine through tastings, and he slowly fell in love with the combination of wine, amazing places, and memorable conversations and of course, Kimberly. Together, they had incredible wine experiences on trips to Tuscany, Chile, Napa and more. Perhaps you have your own memories of great wine experiences, celebrations, or moments that have stayed with you. The power of wine to bring people together, to create unforgettable memories, and to enhance the beauty of life is something that Kimberly and Kirk discovered on their journey. Their spirit of resistance was fueled by a desire to step off the treadmill and follow their passion. Kimberly led the way by starting to make wine in the basement of their family home in Washington DC. Kirk, an entrepreneur and author with a talent for creating successful businesses, jumped in to create the business plan for Resistance Wines.
