Steve and Sue Eisenhauer have been wine lovers for 30 years. During the years of wine travels, their favorite part of their adventures was visiting small wineries where the winemaker was doing the tastings. Hours were spent tasting the wines; talking about how the grapes were farmed and how the wine was made; and talking about life.

During the 1990's, Steven stopped his career as a litigation attorney to become the stay-home parent for the family. When the children Michael and Rachel had grown, it was time for Steve to return to work. In considering alternatives, he consulted former colleagues. Their advice was nearly unanimous - “do something you love.” Sage advice, we think.

We started exploring possibilities of making wine that was of exceptional quality. Ultimately, we established the Congruence Wines label and decided to make a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as our flagship wine. There will be other wines made over time, but the Congruence Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is our centerpiece and 2008 is our first vintage with Steve as our winemaker and Kian Tavakoli as our consulting winemaker.
