Pray Tell

Tom Caruso has worked in wine-making regions up and down the West Coast — from Sonoma, California, to Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where he originally opened Pray Tell. But his viticultural journey actually started in South Philly, where he made wines with his grandfather using a hand-cranked destemmer and basket press. Once a cult favorite in Oregon, Pray Tell is now bringing its Pacific daydream style to Kensington with elegant, low-intervention vintages that remind us that excellent wine begins with excellent grapes.
