Drava Wines
"Drava Wines in Lodi, California brings together the diverse winegrowing capabilities of the Lodi appellation with the spirit and sensibilities of the Slovene wine region of Štajerska, home to the world's oldest noble grape vine."
Desperada
"The wines of Desparada are guided more by spirit than style. I don't trust dogma; I also don't seek recklessness. In my head I'm an Italian and Bordeaux varietal producer, can speak 12 languages fluently, and own a house with a secret staircase. "
Four Lanterns
"Four Lanterns resides on 35 acres on the west side of Paso Robles in the formidable Willow Creek District. This area, renowned for hot days, cool nights and soil riddled with calcareous stone, provides a perfect environment for making exceptional wines. Jackie’s Vineyard, located in the Templeton Gap District, is the location where their Bordeaux varieties grow."
iBrand
"We did not set out to make these wines. We discovered great vineyardsa at the edge of sensible farming and decided to bring them to light."
Story of Soil
"As a small winery we can put more time, attention, and care into our wines (than the larger wineries can afford to, really). So in order to make wines of the highest quality, we: 1. Select vineyards that are farmed with the greatest level of care. 2. Focus on single varietal and single vineyard. Single vineyard allows us to focus on "the place" the grapes are farmed and single varietal will show how each varietal is affected by that place (i.e. soil and microclimate)."
Turley
"Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by former emergency room physician Larry Turley in 1993. Under the direction of winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, Turley now makes 50 different wines from over 50 vineyards across California, primarily Zinfandel and Petite Syrah, with many vines dating back to the late 1800s. By farming organically and focusing on old vine vineyards of these varieties, Turley aims to both create and preserve California’s unique winemaking culture."Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by former emergency room physician Larry Turley in 1993.
