Behind our brand names "Cosi Fun Futti" and "Parsifal" is a family operated business which has its roots in Europe.

The owner is from a former East German appellation " Loessnitz Berge" near Dresden, where rolling hills stretch down to the river Elbe with well established vines grown for more then 250 years by Saxonian King August (der Starke) the Strong.

In Napa Valley, one of the world's renown wine regions he was able to continue this love and passion for growing grapes. After studying viticulture and continuing education courses at UC Davis in California he continued his professional education as a financial advisor requiring quality in details, so the making of first class wines.

Further expanding of family international wine producing business in Argentina's grape grown Province of Mendoza the owners have been able to find an established winery in wine region of San Rafael, south of Mendoza city. There they combine the advanced viticulture practices from California with traditional Argentinean grape growing and wine making practices, to produce outstanding Argentinean red wines such as Malbec, Bonarda, and Cabernet Sauvignon and whites like Chardonnay, Chenin and eventually Riesling.

  Through the marriage the family operated business expanded to France to include a wine Connoisseur in Paris who also grows grapes and makes wine in Beaujolais. He markets wines from his vineyard and others in that region and exports them to different markets in Europe.

All of the general winery tasks such as grape growing, winery operation, sales and marketing are done by family members except for the actual wine making. We have been very fortunate to associate ourselves with the first class licensed winemaker in both countries.

We are part of a new generation of entrepreneurs who, through love and passion, bring new and high quality wines under the labels "Parsifal" and "Cosi Fun Tutti" to the consumers worldwide.
