Welcome to

HTBE Wines is a winemaking project started by Chris, Suzanne, and Kyle Shepanek. 


After collecting wines for many years Chris and his wife Suzanne searched for a place to grow their own grapes. Settling in the hills above Calistoga, they found a place to make their dream of having their own wine a reality. Their son Kyle is in charge of winemaking, sales, marketing, and making sure his parents don't drink all the wine themselves!


The estate is home to Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc vineyards which provide fruit for the AshFall wines. The name AshFall refers to rocky soils found on the property caused by the eruption of Mt. Saint Helena some 3 million years ago. 


The Observatory wines come for Poor Ranch Vineyard outside of Hopland, CA in Mendocino County. The vineyard is CCOF Certified Organic and dry-farmed.  


The Non-Nomen wines are special onetime projects that come about from relationships with other wineries and growers. 


Each brand offers unique wines with different points of view. We think you'll find a wine that's right for any occasion!
