Robert Sinskey Vineyards / Case Study
For over twenty years, Robert Sinskey Vineyards has produced luxurious, 100% organic wines in California's Napa and Sonoma Valleys. The refined excellence of their wines is a reflection of Robert Sinskey's own passion for superb craftsmanship in artisanal winemaking, photography, and almost everything else he touches.
Rob constantly improves his wines by carefully managing how his grapes are grown and processed, and he constantly improves his website with innovative, beautiful designs by Peter Mcewen. When it came time to turn the latest designs into an elegant interactive web site, Rob and Peter approached dojo4.
Brett Goulder and Steve Bailey worked with Peter to create a very compelling user experience, one that illustrates the rich, deep craft of winemaking at Robert Sinskey Vineyards. dojo4 worked with the existing BrowserCMS content management system, bringing the markup, JavaScript, and Rails backend up to the high standards we use for our own custom applications. We tweaked the behavior of active interface elements to suit Peter's exacting designs. And we put the final product through a grueling cross-browser gamut to be sure it even reaches wine connoisseurs whose browsers have been cellared for 10 years.
We uncorked this latest version of the site in late 2011, and we look forward to more work with Robert Sinskey in the future. Meanwhile, a toast to excellence!
