About Valor Wines
Valor is Ray's North Haven laboratory: the Quinnipiac Avenue cellar pours some twenty ciders from sweet to spicy beside inventive wines, skin-swapped experiments and a notorious Skittles bottling included, sourced from serious regions and blended with mad-scientist glee. Games, gluten-free care and the owner's storytelling built a top-five reputation among trail completists. Creativity, generously poured.
