Owners Jensen Picardal and Iris Velazquez’s serious interest in wine began on a simple day of wine tasting back in 2007. Since then, while working in the corporate world as a Mechanical Engineer, Jensen tried to learn as much as he could about the world of wine by gaining experience as a home winemaker, self-education, and helping out as a cellar hand in a North Fork winery. However, it was after a half-acre vineyard rental in 2010 maintained by Iris and Jensen, that Porcelina Wines was born.
