Olabisi is an African girls given name meaning "joy multiplied". It
is also the name of a small Napa winery founded in 2002 by husband-wife team Kim Wedlake and Ted Osborne. Kim brought them
to the Napa Valley 13 years ago--she to design wine labels and he to pursue winemaking. Possessing only his English degree
and no formal training Ted set out to gain his winemaking knowledge as an apprentice first. From 1995 to 2002, Ted worked
for Cakebread Cellars in Napa, Passing Clouds in Australia, Rupert & Rothschild in South Africa, Chateau du Seuil in Bordeaux,
and Storybook Mountain Winery in Napa. By now it seemed time to focus that experience on their own wines. Since then, they've
dedicated themselves to making small-production expressive wines from diamond-in-the-rough vineyards. Most recently, Ted was
head winemaker for Pina Cellars and he still consults for Phifer Pavitt and Trahan Wineries. Ted and Kim currently live in
Calistoga with their two young children.
