The story of Maysara is one of the most riveting in all of wine. Founder Moe Momtazi recalls as a child sitting at his father's feet as his father made wine in their basement in Iran. In 1971 Moe came to the United States to study engineering. He returned to Tehran and eventually opened his own engineering company. He met his wife Flora and they married. But then the revolution happened.
"Whenever Flora--my wife--would refuse to cover her face or to follow the Islamic dress code, we would get stopped and harassed by government thugs. When she was 24 and I was 30, she became pregnant. And we didn't want to raise our family there.
