An Insignia Day Love Story

By Nicole Boutilier

After becoming engaged on Insignia
Weekend 2009, Paige Goodman
and Stephen Maire will marry in July
2010 at the West Point U.S. Military
Academy.

Paige Goodman and Stephen Maire of New York City first visited Joseph Phelps Vineyards in August of 2008, at which time Paige became a Phelps Preferred Club Member.

The couple returned to JPV on Saturday, May 16th, 2009, for Insignia Weekend. Unaware of what Stephen had planned, Paige was stunned when Stephen got down on one knee with Spring Valley Vineyard in the background, to propose. Paige said “Yes!”

"I couldn't have asked for a better engagement setting,” she told us. “Great wine, good food and friendly people to celebrate this momentous occasion – what more could you ask for? Joseph Phelps Vineyards will always be a special place for us!”

Paige is from Queens, and Stephen grew up in California’s Santa Ynez Valley. They met when they were borh working for a New York investment bank.

We wanted to share this romantic story and thank Paige and Stephen for letting Joseph Phelps Vineyards be part of such a special day. We wish them a long and happy life together.
