Gina Giugni is a second generation biodynamic farmer and winemaker. Gina started Lady of the Sunshine in 2017, with a focus on regenerative, organic, and biodynamic farming in pursuit of making natural wines that reflect the purity of the place they come from.

We did not set out to make these wines. We discovered great vineyards at the edge of sensible farming and decided to brin to light.

Scribe Winery in Sonoma, CA produces vibrant, terroir-driven wines. The winery – founded in 2007 on a property that pioneered pre-prohibition Sonoma Valley winemaking – is managed by fourth-generation California farmers and brothers, Andrew and Adam Mariani.

Small-production wines crafted from fruit grown on our estate and sourced from some of the most coveted vineyards in Northern California.

Littorai is a small, family owned and operated winery.

Cobb Wines produces exceptional and classic pinot noir wines reflecting the climate and soils of our coastal Sonoma County vineyards in Northern California.

Ceritas’ first vintage was in 2005. A small collective team, led by founder, John Raytek, can draw a map of the northern California coastal regions, including West Sonoma Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains, Moon Mountain, and Napa.

Limerick Lane is a 30-acre estate located in the north east corner of Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley. In an appellation that’s renowned for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, we grow and produce world class Zinfandel wines and Rhone-style wines.

A 35-acre naturally farmed vineyard, boasting a unique terroir of white volcanic ash, nestled in a small valley at the base of the Stag’s Leap Range.

Purlieu — “the edge of the forest” or “an outlying area” — is a reference to our home base in the new Coombsville AVA, at the edge of the forest and the Napa Valley.

The Promontory winery sits among the western hills of Oakville, overlooking the Napa Valley. In the early 1980s while hiking along Oakville’s southwestern ridge, H. William Harlan discovered an isolated territory. The hidden expanse—ancient and untamed—moved him deeply, but remained elusive until the Harlan family finally captured it in 2008.

For Steve & Jill Matthiason, winemaking is a natural extension of farming. We have both worked for many years in the sustainable agriculture and local food movement, and in 2003 we started Matthiasson Wines based on those values. Our wines are classical expressions of different grape varieties, some well-known like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, and some rare like Ribolla Gialla and Refosco. The wines are refreshing, complement food, and are moderate in alcohol.

Fifth-generation Napa natives, Maggy and John began their endeavor in the 1970s planting The Judge vineyard on the Kongsgaard family land near Napa. The inaugural Kongsgaard wines came in 1996.

In the fall of 2006 Evan Frazier flew to France for his first harvest. I spent the next few months working in the small Roussillon village of Maury picking grapes, hauling boxes, processing fruit, and learning cellar work. The experience I had there with old vines, steep schist slopes, and of getting (literally) up to my elbows in fermentations, convinced me to move to Napa upon my return where I continued on with an apprenticeship in winemaking.

Tradition matters. It binds together families and friendships across backgrounds, languages, and continents. It informs values and deepens knowledge. It is also foundational to the philosophies of two storied wineries: Napa Valley’s Dalla Valle and Tuscany’s Ornellaia.

Honest, heartfelt wines made naturally. When grapes are grown not for tonnage but with a healthy, truly whole, finished wine in mind...when one farms in tune with our natural cycles, never fighting against them...when one thinks of soil health as much as fruit quality. Then and only then are we on the path to truly living one of the most cliché phrases in wine today: "wine is made in the vineyard.”

Handcrafted wines in the spirit of old California

Martha Stoumen Wines was founded upon the desire to recapture a farming and winemaking culture that has all but faded away: a winemaking culture of patience.

Based in a Sebastopol, CA, Jolie-Laide is a tiny, hands on (and feet) operation making distinct and fascinating wines. Founded originally by Scott Schultz, and later joined by partner Jenny Schultz, the winemaking method is simple: grapes are left whole cluster, foot crushed, and aged in neutral oak with a focus on French varieties. The approach is a natural one, a less is more ethos.

Jaimee Motley was born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland within the walls of her family’s restaurant. After moving to San Francisco, it was her time working in restaurants, tasting, and reading about wine, that her passion was officially ignited.
