About Me

Hello! My name is Grayson Bush, and I serve as the Southeastern Market Manager for The Crane Assembly. We could not be more excited to participate in the 2026 Charleston Food + Wine Festival. Our story begins in 1860, when the historic G.B. Crane Vineyard was originally planted by Napa Valley pioneer Dr. George Belden Crane. Today, the vineyard is owned by Leslie and Vail Miller Jr., who carry forward the stewardship of this remarkable 165-year-old heritage site. From our estate G.B. Crane Vineyard, we produce two exceptional wines that reflect the unique character of this historic land. In addition, we craft a curated selection of boutique wines from sourced fruit under our Disciples label. We see it as our responsibility to honor Dr. George Belden Crane’s legacy by remaining true disciples of his pioneering spirit and by crafting beautiful wines to share with the world.
