My Living Room to Fox News: The Republican Red Winery Story

I’ll admit I was a little nervous before my interview on Fox News. It’s a big stage for a second-generation vintner who started this business in his living room.

The response to our brand being featured was overwhelming. Our website nearly crashed because so many people rushed to join this movement. 

I still remember hearing that a brand like this would never work—that retailers would never carry our wine. 

They were right about one thing: retailers still won't accept us. 

But they were wrong to think this wouldn’t work.

We forged ahead and built Republican Red Winery as an online-only business for patriots across the country who love a great glass of wine and want to be a part of something bigger.

No corporate gatekeepers.
No watered-down messaging.
Just the American spirit captured in each and every bottle.

If you've been here awhile, THANK YOU. None of this would be possible without your commitment to conservative values and your belief in our humble, family-owned business.

If you’re new to Republican Red Winery, welcome. We are happy that you’ve joined us. We hope that you find a few bottles on our site to share with family and friends. I’d also love for you to explore our newest release, The 1776 Collection, honoring America’s 250th Birthday.

Together, we’re building something we can hand down to the next generation: a stronger way to live our values and honor the bold American tradition this country was founded on.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your table. It’s truly an honor.

Sincerely,
Paul Johnson
Owner & Founder
Republican Red Winery
