My Cousins' Wine

About Us

Our Legacy- My Cousins’ Wine is rooted in a craft our great-grandfather carried from Sicily to America as a young man—a way of preserving old world winemaking traditions in a new land. For our family, winemaking was more than a practice; it was a discipline, a tradition, and a way of honoring the land and the harvest.

In Springfield, our grandfather and his brothers made wine side by side, each with their own approach, each convinced theirs was just a little better than the rest. That same friendly competition carried across the family table to his brothers-in-law, the Pagliaros. Batches were tasted, debated, compared, and proudly poured. No prizes. No titles. Just respect, laughter, and the quiet pride of creating something with your own hands.

It wasn’t just wine. The men of Springfield grew or gathered what they could—hot peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes or scungilli on their trips to Cape Cod. Tending gardens and food with the same care they gave their barrels. Harvest season meant long days, stained hands, and full kitchens. What they grew, they preserved. What they preserved, they shared. Everything was turned into the best possible product through hard work, patience, and intent.
Our Values-Our great-grandfather carried more than winemaking across the ocean, he carried a mindset. Use what the land gives you. Waste nothing. Respect the process. Take pride in your work. Share what you make. He passed that philosophy down to our grandfather, who lived it every day, and in turn passed it on to our parents, who passed it to us.
