 Neyers
Vineyards - Neyers Vineyards sits in the heart
of the Napa Valley but Ehren’s experience as a winemaker
in France and Bruce’s experience with French wine importer
Kermit Lynch have had an undeniable influence on our work.
Many French wine producers farm organically, make their wines
naturally without use of cultured yeast or laboratory designed
malo-lactic starters, and bottle their wines without fining
or filtration. We like their results and utilize many of their
ideas. The production of outstanding wine is invariably accompanied
by some degree of risk. Our barrels are made in France, to
our specifications, from wood that we buy at auction and air
dry for three years, a year longer than normal. All of our
grapes are picked by hand, into half-ton bins, then laboriously
hand sorted at the winery. Grapes that require a drive of
more than thirty minutes to our winery are delivered in refrigerated
trucks.

 Seavey
Vineyard - From its 40 acre hillside vineyard,
surrounded by several hundred acres of wilderness, Seavey
Vineyard handcrafts two styles of Cabernet Sauvignon plus
small lots of Merlot and Chardonnay. Yields are less than
two tons per acre leading to wonderfully rich concentrated
wines, all 100% estate grown, produced and bottled. A visit
to Seavey Vineyard, four miles east of Saint Helena in the
Napa Valley, is not only about tasting award winning wines
produced in the finest classic tradition, but also a rare
opportunity to experience a vineyard and winery whose traditions
mirror images of the original “Napa Valley".

 Spottswoode
Winery - Our annual vertical tastings are something
that all of us at the winery relish every year, as they provide
us with a focused opportunity to re-visit our now two decades
worth of Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon. Fascinating, as we
never know quite what to anticipate from each vintage –
it seems that we have all learned to toss out our expectations,
and tasting the wines blind allows for objectivity and consistently
results in lots of surprises. Whenever these tastings are
mentioned in public situations they tend to elicit dreamy-eyed
reactions and sighs from wine fans, who wish that they might
also have annual opportunities to taste all of our vintages
together. We feel lucky indeed!

 Mason
Cellars - is a family owned and operated winery,
founded in l993 by winemaker Randy Mason and his wife, Megan,
in Oakville, California. Following 20 years of winemaking
and vineyard management for other distinguished Napa Valley
wineries, such as Chappallet and Lakespring, they decided
to launch their own wine label - "Mason Cellars".
Coinciding with the starting of their label, Randy assisted
with the start-up of Napa Wine Company, a custom crush winery
facility in Oakville. At Napa Wine Company Randy served as
C.E.O., General Manager and Winemaker over the course of the
next nine years. The Masons' vision is to create high quality
wine that is consumer friendly, that is ready to drink and
available at a fair market price.
 Pillar
Rock Vineyard
- Pillar Rock Vineyard produces wines that are uncorked at
some of the world’s finest restaurants and hotels, including
the Peninsula Beverly Hills, Four Seasons- Chicago, stretching
from Florida to Valentino’s in California, and all up-and-down
the Napa Valley’s premier restaurants, as well as many
throughout the Chicago Suburbs. Ron and Teri Kuhn, Illinois
residents, fell in love with Napa and bought an estate with
23 acres of vineyard in 1995 with the dream of producing a
world class Cabernet Sauvignon. The inspiration of their home’s
unique “rock pillars” coupled with the myths and
breathtaking views of Stags Leap, helped create the image
of Pillar Rock.
 Bouchaine
Vineyards
- Bouchaine wines are a compelling expression of nature
and culture, a marriage of grape and craft that harmonizes
the elegance of Burgundy with the exuberance of California.
Bouchaine Vineyards is established in the site of the oldest
continually operated winery in Carneros in the southern end
of the Napa Valley. Bouchaine is dedicated to the pursuit
of enticing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, whose grapes are best
suited to the climate and soils of our beautiful 100-acre
estate vineyard. Located just north of the San Pablo and San
Francisco Bays, the vineyard climate is directly influenced
by the fog that rolls in each night, and the shallow, clay
loam soils are perfectly suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Bouchaine Vineyards has a rich history that dates back to
the late 1800’s when wine grapes were first planted
at this historic site.

 Ceja
Vineyards - Terroir, (pronounced tair wahr),
is a French term and strictly translated refers to the earth.
In the Carneros Region, the term is defined as a special set
of conditions encompassing all the components that affect
the grapes grown here. The soil’s chemistry and physical
structure, the slope and orientation of the hills and valleys
and the weather are all factors of terroir. Located approximately
40 miles northeast of San Francisco, the Carneros Region’s
moderate climate is created by fog, moist air, and cool breezes
from the Pacific Ocean. Protected from harsh weather by the
Coastal Range, Carneros summer days are warm with cool nights
and winters are mild. As a result, grapes stay on the vine
longer, reaching high acidity and full flavor development.

 Domaine
Carneros - Located in the heart of the Carneros
region, Domaine Carneros stands alone as the only sparkling
wine producer using exclusively Carneros grapes. The Carneros
Appellation is the first American Viticultural appellation
to be defined according to climate rather than along political
lines. The appellation is characterized by a long, moderately
cool growing season tempered by the maritime breezes and lingering
fog off the San Pablo Bay just to the south. These are optimum
growing conditions for pinot noir and chardonnay, the two
primary grape varieties used in Domaine Carneros wines.

 Laird
Family Estate - We have seen a family dream come
to fruition, from vine to tasting room, based primarily on
the incredible diversity and quality of our vineyards. The
stewardship of these vineyards began nearly twenty-five years
ago when many pioneer farmers passed on critical knowledge
and techniques to Ken Laird and later to son Justin, all in
the spirit of kindness and helping hands. Several of these
farmers, like Guillermo “Willie” Medina, were
there in the beginning and continue to play core roles within
our vineyard operations. Today Justin oversees nearly 2000
prime vineyard acres for Bayview Vineyards, the Laird’s
vineyard management company. While Bayview Vineyards is small
and completely family run, it serves over 35 ultra premium
wineries including our own family label.

 Reynolds
Family Winery - My interest in wine started when
I was living in Germany as a young teenager. Wine was always
part of our daily life and my father often took the whole
family on wine tasting trips through Europe. At the time we’d
curse him as we spent our day throwing rocks into a pond while
he tasted. Now, of course, I’m grateful to him for sharing
his passion and infecting me with his enthusiasm. My father
and I dreamt of building a winery together and our vision
became reality when my wife, Suzie, and I traded my dental
practice for the life of wine growers in 1994. I’d like
to say that we moved in and started making wine on day one.
But the truth is the property was a 100-year old chicken ranch
that needed lots of love but was full of potential. It took
us over a year to clean up and begin renovations. I acted
as general contractor, and built everything from the fences
to the tasting room. Apart from having to live in a friend’s
garage for six months, we can now say it was a labor of love.
