As sisters and co-owners of Noboleis Vineyards, Angie Geis and Chris Newbold are doing more than running their family winery – they are stewarding the land, cultivating a dedicated team, and investing in the community that has supported Noboleis from the beginning.
Rooted in the rich tradition of Missouri winemaking and grounded in the foundation built by their parents, Bob and Lou Ann Nolan, Angie and Chris carry forward a legacy shaped by hard work, resilience, and a deep respect for the vineyard. But stewardship, to them, means more than preserving the past. It means leading with vision.
Together, they guide the strategic growth of Noboleis – strengthening operations, elevating hospitality, expanding distribution, and fostering a workplace culture where collaboration thrives. That forward-thinking approach extends beyond the vineyard, with the expansion of their canned beverage lines, Swirl Sangria and Fabled Legendary Hard Cider, bringing new energy and accessibility to the Missouri beverage landscape.
Surrounded by a talented team of winemakers, growers, and hospitality professionals, Angie and Chris are cultivating something greater than a bottle of wine. From estate-grown vintages to innovative canned offerings, they are building a sustainable future for Missouri wine – one defined by thoughtful leadership, shared success, and a lasting impact.
