Discover The Wineries

"Bedrock Wine Co. was started in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson. Working out of a small converted chicken coop in a friend’s backyard, Morgan focused on making personality-filled wines wrought from a small array of thoughtfully farmed vineyards. Over time the chicken coop and its outdoor fermenters and tiny basket press gave way to production at another friend’s winery and eventually to the “elegant” tin-sided warehouse that is now called home. In addition, after six years of working alone the winery welcomed Chris Cottrell as a partner-in-crime along with a small, dedicated staff of highly decent human beings."

"Convene by Dan Kosta is where the story continues for one of Sonoma’s most decorated vintners. Building on his experiences as the co-founder of Kosta Browne Winery, Dan’s commitment to crafting world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the world’s finest appellations remains unwavering."

"Every day by 4:00pm, the horn sounds and the train goes by Oak Ridge Winery, at crossing #842837B, splashed with vibrant graffiti – a stark contrast against the concrete building it passes. In Lodi harvest lore, railroads were a method of transporting grapes during harvest; now, an industrial relic no longer suited to the romance of winemaking. But romance isn’t something that Oak Ridge is overly concerned about – what we are concerned about is quality, heritage, and authenticity."

"Abacela is a world-class, multi-award-winning winery and viticulture success story. But in 1995, when founders Earl and Hilda Jones planted its first vines they had no way of knowing what the outcome would be. They were scientists with zero winemaking experience who left secure careers and trekked 2700 miles west, kids in tow, to determine if fine Tempranillo wine could be grown and produced in Oregon’s Umpqua Valley."

"Herman Story Wines are made, schlepped, peddled, and drunk with friends by me. The basic web design books tell me that you're probably here for the basics: to find release schedules, ordering information and tasting opportunities for the wines I make, which sounds pretty good to me. The less time I spend writing this stuff the more time I spend in the cellar. So here you go, all the facts with none of the filler. An aesthetic I stand by and believe my wines do too."

"We started our winery because we wanted to provide a different experience: different grapes, different winemaking styles, different blends and a different level of interaction with our customers. We seek out small lots of interesting grapes from vineyards in Amador County and surrounding areas. By interesting, we mean grape varietals that most people never heard of, let alone tasted. Of course, we make wines from more recognized varietals too. We just do them differently."
