About

Jordan Kivelstadt and Grant Hemingway have never been ones to follow a recipe. They met in 2011 and formed a friendship with a shared goal of breaking down the wine industry’s glass walls. Jordan has been leading the charge on sustainability and innovation within the wine industry through his founding of Free Flow Wines, the leader in wine on tap and pioneer in alternative wine packaging. Grant is a maverick of sorts in the wine industry with over a decade of experience as both a winemaker and manager of successful wine brands like Pomelo and Blue Plate. As devoted outdoorsmen, both Jordan and Grant understand the need to make our planet a better place. This, combined with their desire to socialize wine and make it available in every setting, comes together in a simple, sustainable package that is Essentially Geared Wine Co. We’ll see you ‘round the campfire.
