The term refers to a group of innovative winemakers, producing "Vins de garage", "Garage wine"."The garagiste winemaker, intimately involved in every step of the process, is practically bound to make a wine which reflects his or her personality, just as a painting reflects the personality of the painter. It can be wine made to your own standards, with passion coming before profit."

Garage Wineries are "for winemakers and owners of limited production, high quality wine brands who are dedicated to their craft and wish to affordably assume more control over winemaking and promotional activities."

Clover Meadow currently has 23 varieties of wine. Varieties range from fruit, honey, botanical, to grape. Quantities are limited and sell out quickly. Once gone, they are not available again for a year.
