Established in 2018
The name Pips is not only a nod to the seeds in fruits, but also to counting devices like the symbols on playing cards or the dots on a die. Though, most importantly, it is a nod to our son, Parker, who was born with special needs. Not knowing what his future holds, Pips will forever be a home to him as a family owned business.
We firmly believe in continuous improvement at Pips. We simply make what we enjoy drinking, and are beyond humbled when we can put a smile on even one other face as a result. That said, we actively seek out learning opportunities and always plan on listening to feedback from our customers. Every voice matters, for it is because of you that we are able to do what we love to do.
We thank you for your support and for joining us on this journey.

Thanks Virby44 for the bottle! Wineglass showing opaque venous purple.
The nose shows intense notes of bell pepper and cinnamon.
The palate is full bodied. Overwhelming concentrated but not overly sweet black currants throughout. Currants seem to go on forever with some baking spice notes on the end.

Bottle drunk 10/1/23. Clear weird purple color. Rich and juicy but with proper balancing acidity. Berries, hints of vanilla and light oak. Mellow but still with some bright fruit. Soft, syrupy, sweet, not too much so, with balancing acidity, pepper and vanilla acidity as well as the fruit. Juicy, fruity. Clean, not boozey, low oak.

deep purple color. No head. Intense concentrated raspberry with a touch of vanilla, very sweet nose that is tart and light barrel character. The palate is very extremely intense fruit character with beautiful vanilla character, the perfect amount of tartness. The perfect balance.
