The boRn Journey.

The start of the 2023 Harvest!

Greetings!

I am beyond thrilled to welcome you to this exciting chapter of my journey, and I am genuinely grateful to have you here to share in the joy. Sometimes, it feels like I’m living in a dream, and the reality of launching my wine brand, boRn, is truly a pinch-me moment.

For those who know me intimately, you're aware of the passion, heart, and soul I've poured into bringing this product to life. However, if we haven't crossed paths before, allow me a moment to unfold the story behind boRn.

The journey began in the fall of 2020, right after graduating from Cal Poly. Despite the challenges of a global pandemic, I was fortunate to secure a fantastic job at a Sonoma-based winery, sparking a newfound passion to create a wine that bears my unique signature. In September of that year, my inaugural vintage, a single barrel of hand-harvested Pinot Noir, marked the beginning of what has become a remarkable adventure. Since then, not only have I sold out of my first vintage, but I've also introduced a single barrel Chardonnay to the boRn portfolio in 2022.

The boRn story is far from a linear journey. There were moments of doubt, times when passion wavered, and instances where I felt a bit lost. Through numerous name and label design iterations, the name "boRn" finally emerged. To me, boRn encapsulates a piece of who I am—Rachel N. Bordes. Beyond that personal connection, it embodies my vision of new beginnings, the extraordinary found in the ordinary, and the magic within everyday life.

Celebrating life's little moments doesn't always require grand occasions. I invite you to share a bottle of boRn with me, knowing that it has become a cherished chapter in my story, and I hope it becomes the same for you.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support on this extraordinary journey. Thank you for being here, and here's to the magic that awaits us in each and every day.

Cheers,

R
