Because we do not own any vineyards, we can work with grape growers throughout the state to craft a variety of wines, including some Italian varieties that are not often found throughout the New World. Salute! What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Montepulciano, because it is delicious! What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? I was at an industry event. The event had a tasting of wines made from lesser-known grape varieties. The variety that surprised me the most at the time was Graciano. Since then, it has been very fun tasting other lesser-known varieties that are being grown throughout California and the US. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes?

It started with a conversation around a table at Shelley’s A16 restaurant, known for introducing southern Italian wines to diners. They talked about how well these varietals grow in California, and what an incredible adventure it would be to make these wines themselves. As they started down the path, they also saw an opportunity to create a modern wine brand, one that is owned by women, made by women, and is synonymous with the things they hold near and dear—community, organic, and sustainable farming, and sitting around a table. They’re still building that vision, and thank you for joining them on the journey. What is your favorite undiscovered grape?

The estate vineyard has a storied history. Originally planted in the 1890’s, then to pears and walnuts during prohibition, then again to grapes in 1972, wine was produced for Frog’s Leap beginning in 1987 and then for Tres Sabores from 1999 through today. The adventure into truly “uncharted” territory began in 2014 when, almost (not quite, but almost) on a whim, Jon sourced over half of California’s St Laurent production from Dale Ricci’s vineyards in the Carneros and the magic began. Soon, the serendipity factor really kicked in! A chance meeting with Beckham Vineyards owner and ceramic artist, Andrew Beckham, led to the purchase of...
