About Us

The story of MadoroM is a story of hard work and the unremitting striving for excellence in winemaking. MadoroM wines are the product of the collaboration between owners Andy and Marissa Amador and winemaker Mike Blom.

Andy grew up living, hunting and fishing in the Napa Valley. As Andy spent most of his youth in and around vineyards, he vowed to plant vines as soon as he could. At age 27, Andy purchased a 188 acre ranch in the eastern Napa Valley. Shortly thereafter, 50 acres of vines were planted at the ranch. He then expanded his vineyard holdings and planted a vineyard at the base of Mt. Veeder.

Mike spent the last 24 years making wine. After a chance meeting, they found they both wanted to bring their experiences together to create memorable wine. Mike initially made a small lot of wine from Andy's Mt. Veeder vineyard to see what the potential was for crafting an exceptional wine.

Their first vintage was unveiled at a gathering of friends and family. A stunned silence fell over the crowd upon tasting their premier production of 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon followed by boisterous approval--In vino veritas. (Latin translation: "There is truth in wine.") Andy, Marissa and Mike then realized it was time to begin serious production of the wine that was to be named MadoroM--a combination of their names.

Marissa currently adds her creative talents to the MadoroM team effort by organizing MadoroM's special events and overseeing all design work.

Their mutual goal is to yearly produce, through dedication to wine excellence and hard work, an extraordinary wine. Their customers, who share their love of excellence in wine, have been crucial to the continuing success of the MadoroM label. The Team MadoroM will continue to work diligently to meet the high expectations of all their customers.
