FEATURED WINERIES

La Crema:
La Crema is a family-owned, family run winery located in the heart of Sonoma County's Russian River Valley AVA. They maintain a commitment to artisan winemaking techniques such as hand picking, open-top fermentation and French oak usage. Pioneers in hand-crafted, cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, La Crema's wines are a result of the Russian River's chilly coastal mornings and evening fog. In this climate, grapes enjoy a long, leisurely growing season, resulting in powerfully intense aromas and flavors in the wines.
Winemaker: Melissa Stackhouse

Murphy-Goode:
Family-owned Murphy-Goode has been making wine in the Alexander Valley AVA in northern Sonoma County since 1985. These time-tested soils and balance of sun and fog lend themselves to growing exceptional wine grapes, like their sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon, both made in the Bordeaux tradition. As a tribute to the Ready's hometown football team, the Minnesota Vikings, their labels proudly wear purple. It's all goode!
Winemaker: David Ready, Jr.

Matanzas Creek:
Located in Bennett Valley, Sonoma's newest AVA, Matanzas Creek is surrounded on all sides by mountains. A cool, maritime air stream called the Petaluma Wind Gap flows from the Pacific coast through the valley creating complex wines. With a porous Basalt soil structure, chardonnay and merlot rootstocks must dig deep to secure water needed to feed their vines. Combined with their rolling vineyards, their estate-grown lavender makes the winery one the prettiest places in Sonoma County.
Winemaker: Francois Cordese
