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."

"Novelty Hill and Januik are two independent wineries that share a destination tasting room and state-of-the-art winery under the direction of Mike Januik, one of Washington State’s most acclaimed winemakers."

"From the moment the idea took shape to produce premium, small lot wines, we have stayed focused on the land, the fruit, the wine, and the life. With that in mind, our mission is to produce fine wine, from exceptional grapes, grown in a high altitude setting. As we continue to learn about balance and harmony, and their relationship to winemaking, we consider the individual elements from which wine is derived: soil, water, fruit, and craft. From the composition of the soil, to the handling of the grapes, our wines speak to this relationship."

"An artisan winery established in 1986 by winemaker Bill Easton and Jane O’Riordan, we make 30 different wines, most of them very small lots of 100-400 cases.

 Look for our wines in retail stores and restaurants around the country or visit us in beautiful Amador County."

"We’re a family owned business with a commitment to growing quality grapes, because we understand that exceptional wines begin in the vineyard. We planted and have been producing Chardonnay, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes on our home ranch in the rolling Clements hills for over 19 years, and have been making wine for both domestic and international export even longer."

"In 1979, the Stonum Family purchased seventeen acres of prime agricultural land in Lodi, California. The property consisted of eight acres of cherries, seven acres of Tokay grapes and a sixty year old farmhouse. The following quote has always been a favorite of Stonum Family matriarch, Joyce Stonum MacPherson, and has guided and inspired the family through the years of hard work and sacrifice: "To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." - Anatole France 1896"
