About Kiki & Juan
Kiki and Juan is the personal wine label of wine importers Kerin Auth Bembry and John House of La Luz Selections. Kerin (KiKi) has been a leader and prominent figure in the Spanish wine industry in NYC and throughout the United States for nearly two decades. John (Juan) started selling wine 15 years ago in Central Florida and has since managed sales for many wineries, mostly in the Pacific Northwest, where he lives. In 2011, John and his wife also launched their Portland-based passion project, Ovum Wines.
“Kiki” uses her longstanding relationships with friends and grape growers in Spain to find the organic vineyards that OVUM winemaker “Juan” will use as his muse to create low-intervention wines that are a reflection of their vineyard and vintage. Native fermentation in cement, amphora, and stainless steel. Nothing is added except sulfur. The goal is to make simple, fresh wines from old-fashioned techniques.
