Midnight Cellars - A family owned and operated winery, home to three generations of the Hartenberger Family and their small production of award-winning Paso Robles wines. The 28 acre estate is situated in the Willow Creek district, known for its strong marine influence, mountainous landscape and calcareous soils. This climate, topography and soil composition create an environment for growing quality, low-yield, sustainably farmed grapes.
Robert Biale Vinyards - A revered standard of heritage Vineyard Zinfandel and Petite Sirah in Napa Valley, the owners cherish the tradition of historic old vines (some dating to the 1880's) and prize the small quantity of concentrated and intense fruit they produce. It all started in the 1940's when 14 year-old Aldo Biale helped his mother to make ends meet by selling to other insider Napans - along with eggs and produce - some of the family's homemade Zinfandel. Over the "party line" phone system, the code words "a Black Chicken" signified a jug of bootleg wine.... and kept nosy neighbors and the southernness from finding out about Aldo's underground Zinfandel operation!
Astrolabe Wines - Named after the ship that in 1827 charted and explored the Marlborough Coast, Astrolabe is a personal project for winemaker Simon Waghorn and his wife, Jane. Astrolabe produces a wide range of wines that express the purity and intensity of fruit flavors naturally afforded by the climate and soils of the Marlborough region. All grapes are sources from unique Malborough sites, carefully chosen to add complexity and completeness in the wines.
Bodegas Paso Robles - Dedicated to producing wines using Spanish and Portuguese varietals, Bodegas Paso Robles takes old world vines and makes new world wines of the highest quality with the least invasive winemaking practices. The grapes, although grown in California, are native to Portugal and Spain and have been used for centuries in Iberian winemaking.
Close des Lunes - Above and beyond the unique quality of the terrain, Clos des Lunes success is owed to the same winemaking philosophy as Domaine de Chavalier. Just like Domaine de Chavalier, the grapes are handpicked with infinite care at optimum ripeness in several passes, and exclusively in the morning. Olivier Bernard likes to say, "Great wine is always made with great grapes." He is well aware that it takes a host of meticulous vineyard operations, performed at just the right time, to make a successful vintage.
Duckhorn Vineyards - Co-founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards has spent forty years establishing itself as one of North America's premier producers of Napa Valley wines. From its modest inaugural vintage of 800 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon and 800 cases of Merlot in 1978, to its addition Sauvignon Blanc in 1982, Duckhorn Vineyards has crafted a tradition of quality and excellence that continues today. Decoy has established a loyal following for its distinctive style, which emphasizes ready-upon-release wines that are capable of expressing their full charm and complexity in their youth. Building on this foundation, Decoy has evolved from being a single wine in the Duckhorn Vineyards family to being a renowned wine in its own right.
J Vineyards & Winery - Since 1986, J Vineyards & Winery has developed a reputation as one of the top sparkling and varietal wine producers in California. J has come to be known for its celebrated estate vineyards, contemporary winery and world-class hospitality.
J Lohr Winery - Jerry Lohr has been recognized by Wine Business Monthly as the "innovator of the Year." In the early 1970's, Jerry Lohr first planted grapes in Monterey's Arroyo Seco district. In the 1980's he was the potential for great Cabernet Sauvignon in the Paso Robles region and began vineyards there. For more than four decades, Jerry Lohr has been synonymous with pioneering and innovation on the California Central Coast.
Mer Soleil Vineyard - Mer Soleil is named after its two prominent natural growing conditions of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey Country - sea (mer) and sun (soleil). This costal appellation gives way to the high quality Chardonnay as mornings and evenings pull in fog from the nearby Monterey Bay, while afternoons provide bright, warm sunlight. Mer Soleil and Silver Chardonays are both products of the same fruit from the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey County.
Noble Vines - The vines are noble, so they are treated that way. The vines are farmed in the cobblestone soils of the family-paned vineyards in Lodi, California ad on the gentle cool sloes of the cool-climate San Bernabe Vineyard in Monterey, California. Noble Vines plays strict attention to sustainable farming to ensure the land endures for the next century and beyond. Deep roots and family commitment keep Noble Vines focused on superior quality - from the way they form to the way they craft their wines.
Valley of the Moon Winery - Born on the historic Madrone Vineyard Estate, originally planted in 1863, Valley of the Moon Winery has been producing world-class wines in the heart of the valley that bears its names for over 150 years. the original stone barrel cellar is still in use and represents a vital piece of Sonoma Valley winemaking history. A blend of old and new allows award-winning winemakers to craft the finest wines while maintaining Valley of the Moons' rich heritage and sense of place,
Wines of Substance - In Colombia Valley, WA - Wine Advocate says, "....over delivers with its deep purple color, terrific bouquet of violets, black currants and wild herbs; its full bodies, supple and downright sexy on the palate."
Inspiration Vineyards - Inspiration Vineyards philosophy is simple; great wine can only be made with excellent grapes. As winegrowers, they pick fruit at the peak of ripeness and handle it carefully during the winemaking process. The resulting efforts are wines that show off the region and vineyard from where they're grown.
Entrepreneur Wines - Entrepreneur Wines captures the creative and enterprising spirit of both winemakers and social entrepreneurs alike. After all, creating fine wine takes the same dedication as creating a remarkable social venture: a combination of the right vision, product expertise and a talented team to make and extraordinary difference - whether on your palette or in the world. Entrepreneur Wines goal is to impact 50 million underprivileged and under-serves children in the next five years, They have partnered with The Gratitude Network to fund carefully selected enterprises that are creating sustainable, social impact across communities.
