I bought ACORN from Bill and Betsy and am continuing and extending this vision. In this, I get to work with grapes that are not the "usual" for the Russian River Valley -- such as Sangiovese, Gruner Veltiner and Cabernet Franc. I make the ACORN wines using family-farmed, field-blend grapes and native yeast fermentation. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Gruner Veltliner. I am excited to explore the textural qualities that can be expressed when grown in the Russian River Valley. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Drinking Pinot Meunier from the Van der Kamp vineyard was a revelation. Related to Pinot Noir, but a character all its own....

What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Bourboulenc! We were the first to plant Bourboulenc in the U.S. and knew it was a blending grape, but was surprised at it's great acidity, salinity, notes of cantaloupe and kumquat. This grape loves to be paired with fresh sweet corn and is a staff favorite! What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? Love the uniqueness of these grapes that you can't find in the store![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3" css=".vc_custom_1709930735254{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_single_image image="2133" img_size="full" qode_css_animation=""][vc_single_image image="2136" img_size="800x800" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row...

Our story traces back to the Azores Islands of Portugal, where Shaun Coleman's grandfather, John Enos Vargas, honed his winemaking craft on the volcanic soils of Faial in the early 1910s. Sailing to California in 1923, he became a cornerstone of Livermore's wine scene, crafting acclaimed whites—including Sauvignon Blanc for the legendary Old Almaden Winery—just miles from our estate. Today, Shaun, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and grandson of that trailblazing vintner, partners with fellow innovator Chris Maune to revive this legacy on land once alive with quicksilver miners from Cornwall, Spain, and beyond. Planted in 2015 with custom UC Davis clones on our five-acre estate, Alamitos honors the past while embracing the undiscovered. We're passionate about unearthing...

They founded Bokisch Vineyards in the Clements Hills of the Lodi, where they specialize in Spanish varietal wines. The couple met at UC Davis and moved to Spain in 1992 where Markus worked in the renowned Cava-producing town of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, while Liz taught English classes. Their love for Spanish food and wine inspired them to produce domestic Spanish varieties upon their return to California. In 1995, they purchased their Terra Alta Vineyards property in the Clements Hills and imported budwood from select Spanish vineyards in 1998. They planted Las Cerezas Vineyard with Albariño, Tempranillo, and Graciano, each occupying one acre. In 2000, they began making wine from their estate-grown, organically farmed fruit.
