    Eden Rift - Christian Pillsbury
    Situato a sole 20 miglia dalla baia di Monterey, Eden Rift è il più antico vigneto in produzione continua in California. Piantato nel 1849 da Theophile Vache, la tenuta di 120 acri si trova sulla faglia di Sant'Andrea e fa parte della Cienega Valley AVA. La cantina si trova a sole due miglia dal famoso produttore di Pinot Nero Calera, il cui fondatore Josh Jensen ha cercato i terreni ricchi di calcare e dolomite. Prima di Josh, i primi viticoltori si procurarono alcune delle prime piantagioni di Pinot Nero in California a Eden Rift a partire dal 1860. Dopo il proibizionismo, l'attenzione su Pinot Nero e Chardonnay è andata persa fino a quando Christian Pillsbury ha acquisito la tenuta nel 2016. Christian ha riunito un team di giovani professionisti del settore a partire dall'enologo Cory Waller per creare ancora una volta alcuni dei Pinot Nero e Chardonnay più vivaci ed energici della California. Le terrazze estreme e il terroir diversificato in un'unica valle contigua rendono il vigneto più antico della California il suo nuovo progetto più entusiasmante.

    JMC Cellars - Jessica Carroll
    Like many that find themselves in this industry, Jessica started her path in a different field: Civil Engineering. She graduated from the University of Portland and worked as a Transportation Engineer in the Bay Area until finding her passion in wine. After careful thought, she made the leap into wine in 2014. While completing her Certificate of Enology from Las Positas College, she worked full time at a winery in Livermore Valley. The list of reasons Jessica loves the wine industry is long and all of them make it a well matched career path for her. She was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to open up her own winery in 2023 and jumped at the chance to fulfil that dream.

    3 Steves Winery - Steve Ziganti
    Founded in 2010, 3 Steves was born over 3 friends sitting around having a glass of wine and talking about starting our own winery. All owned part of a small boutique winery at the time and before long realized it was time to start our own label from the ground up, and thought it was obvious to name the new project 3 Steves Winery.  Originally leasing space within another local winery with a pouring facility downtown, 3 Steves quickly grew and in 2013 opened our doors at our current location on Greenville Hill. Our winery is ever growing and changing, while still focusing on our roots of Bordeaux and Italian varietals being served in a welcoming, family style setting.

    kukkula - Kevin Jussila
    kukkula is on the westside of Paso Robles in the Adelaida District with steep, north facing hills. The vineyard elevation ranges from 1500-1900 feet. We are organic dry-farmers with a Rhone-centric bias. Today, we farm 42 acres of vines, all head-trained and estate grown. We’re focused on making wines of distinction that are finessed, elegant, terroir driven, and work beautifully with food.Our fruit is fermented using native yeast, with no fining/filtering, and are typically aged in barrel and bottle for 2 ½ - 3 years before being released.Because our terroir is like the Rhône region of France, we are Rhône-centric. Other than Cabernet Sauvignon, we grow Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Counoise, Petite Sirah, and Roussanne.We believe the hard work is done in the vineyard, and if we maintain this discipline, farm organically and without irrigation, we will create wines of intense aromatics, flavors, and color, that are a true expression of place, and the essence of our unique terroir.We believe that if we’ve farmed well, there is little need to intervene in the cellar. We don’t adhere to conventional notions and trends. Rather, curiosity and creativity dictate what goes into our final blends.

    Troon Vineyard - Craig Camp
    Located in the Applegate Valley of Southern Oregon, Troon Vineyard has a long history dating back to 1972, yet recent years have seen it become one of the most forward-thinking wineries in the U.S., as it is one of just two to have become Regenerative Organic Certified through the Regenerative Organic Alliance. The recent certification follows a conversion to biodynamic farming that has revitalized the estate’s soils while also providing a template for other wineries both locally and around the world to reduce their environmental footprint.
