Owner and Winemaker Layne Montgomery was fascinated with wine since his early 20\u2019s, and at age 40 thought he\u2019d try his hand at making great wines. He spent two years making his first wines at local wineries that would allow him the space. In 2006, he moved into a cramped industrial warehouse in Lodi, California. At that simple location Layne crafted the identity of m2 wines. Soon the word that m2 was making great wines began to spread.<\/p>\n<p>Layne has received numerous awards for making superb Zinfandel and has since garnered a reputation for producing fine wines from California\u2019s Lodi AVA.<\/p>\n<p>Today m2 Wines sits on its own 15-acre vineyard, with a delightful winery premises and tasting room. The dynamic, artisan, age-worthy wines of Layne &amp; Karen Montgomery are from distinctive vineyards in Lodi, the Sierra Foothills, and Napa Valley. The m2 Lodi vineyard produces Zinfandel, Tannat, Petite Sirah and Vermentino.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re invited! Join Layne &amp; Karen Montgomery on this \u201cBucket List\u201d trip to Portugal.
