Our Story

I’ve always been the type of person to ask “Why does it have to be like that?” or “Why can’t things be better?” and over the years I’ve come up with hundreds of ideas and secured a few different patents, mostly just for the fun and the challenge of the creative process. When my daughter attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, my wife and I began visiting wineries and tasting rooms. There are over 200 wineries in the Columbia Valley, and they all share a deep passion for the art of wine-making.

The idea for the TRIbella really began with all of these winery visits and the passion that came from each person giving us a tour. I intentionally kept the TRIbella device very small because I believe the wine itself should be the hero of the show, and the aerator should be a celebrated, yet humble, cast member. The ambient air in between the streams allows the wine to gracefully and naturally “catch a breath of air” as it falls elegantly and effortlessly into your wine glass. And… not only is it a drip-free way to pour your wine, it is also just so fantastic to see how delighted people are when you pour it for them. It just feels like the TRIbella completes the circuit between all the effort that went into crafting the wine as well as all the effort that went into making a beautiful wine glass. You can now have every aspect of your wine experience be equally amazing.
