Hardy Wallace with his wife, Kate Graham and children, Maple, 2, and Herv�, 3 most, at Sugarloaf Crush Winery in Santa Rosa, Calif., on Thursday, March 21, 2019. Hardy Wallace, winemaker/owner of Dirty & Rowdy Family Wines had a series of hardships strike him in 2017: a virus left him without sight for almost a month; wildfires devastated wine country; and most tragically, his brother in law died in a car accident while en route to come help with the wine harvest. The wine Wallace made in 2017 turned out to be problematic, but instead of throwing it down the drain he decided to embrace it.
