We don't make wines that are made to have an instant and powerful impact like tasting room wines; our wines are wines of finesse and elegance, and are made to be enjoyed with friends, family, and food. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Assyrtiko - represents our Greek heritage, and makes one of the great wines of the world What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape?

Founded by Rebekah Wineburg in 2012, Post & Vine works exclusively with sustainably-farmed old vines and implements a meticulous, low-intervention mentality in the cellar to produce small amounts of artisanal, site-specific wines that deeply reflect the unique places from which they come. All of our wines are produced from hand-harvested fruit, indigenous yeasts, and are bottled unfined and unfiltered. The resulting wines are joyful, honest, and deeply speak to their place of origin. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Carignane is my favorite "undiscovered" grape and is the focus of my work at Post & Vine. I have always been captivated by the depth and character that old vines bring to our wines. Old vines possess deep root systems that access nutrients and minerals from far below the surface. They are in perfect balance with their...

Gash Winemaker: J. Gash About: Prie is an organic, regenerative vineyard and winery specializing in old world style, low alcohol wines that reflect balanced farming practices and thoughtful winemaking. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Prieto Picudo continues to teach me the most about soft approaches to winemaking. Working with this Spanish variety has refined how I think about gentle extraction and letting the grape guide the process rather than imposing too much on it. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Early on, I explored Vermentino, Nebbiolo, and Mencía. Each one opened my eyes to different possibilities. Those experiences shaped my appreciation for varieties that don't follow the mainstream playbook and how they can express something unique in our climate. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? The challenge of discovering how to finesse the nuances of the final wine. Vintners and growers are constantly learning, adjusting farming, timing, cellar work, to bring out...

Each clone is planted and farmed in the location and soil that best suits it. Its deep, well-drained soil, combined with the coastal weather influences of the nearby Pacific Ocean, leads to the delicately balanced flavor profile of distinct minerality, baking spices, and earthiness that we covet in our estate wines. With a new vineyard planted in 2023, we have expanded our estate program and added additional varieties. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Carignane What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? The first time I discovered Viognier, I was unimpressed. But the first time I was able to WORK with Viognier and produce it, I discovered that it was a beautiful, expressive variety that can age for years. After that, I started...

Since that time, Ridge has championed single-vineyard winemaking, searching California for those rare and exceptional vineyards where climate, soil, and variety are ideally matched. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Valdigue, also known as Napa Gamay. It's a fun, lighter style and is a nice complement to our wine program. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? My first experience was tasting our RIDGE Valdiguié from Frediani Vineyard, and it was pretty special. It’s a bit “out of the norm” for RIDGE since we rarely focus on lighter-style reds, and it’s also unique in that it comes from Napa Valley. The wine’s bright, refreshing style is best served slightly chilled and pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? What I love most about...

The name San Rucci is the combination of our two family names - the San Filippo's and the Becherucci's. 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?

I Lodi, CA 95240 stamantwine.com Region: Lodi Owner: Barbara Spencer Winemaker: Stuart Spencer About: Tim Spencer was a rebel, a troublemaker, an outside-of-the-box thinker. Tim went left when everyone else went right. In the 1970’s, when California was just falling in love with Chardonnay and Cabernet, he planted Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cao, Bastardo and other Portuguese varieties. His Vision was simple: Grow world-class port-styled wines in his Amador County vineyard. The first harvest was sold to an equally passionate winemaker that failed to pay for the grapes. Tim, undeterred, took matters into his own hands, and bootlegged several hundred gallons of freshly fermenting wine. He concluded he was quite capable of going broke himself and didn’t need anyone else’s help. That was 1981, and that wine became his very first vintage port. And St. Amant Winery was born! Over the next two decades, Tim became a leading expert, expanding the St. Amant line-up to include dry table wines, white ports, and tawny ports all from traditional Portuguese varieties. When we moved our winery to...

Starfield Vineyards is known for its high elevation mountain vineyards in El Dorado and the fresh wines from rare varieties that exhibit the characteristic Sierra Spice from growing grapes in the pine forests of California. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Cinsaut is my personal favorite. It was hard to find varietal examples of it before we planted it and it looks almost like a table grape, but it produces a light red wine with vibrant strawberry notes and a hint of leafy-bramble. It’s great straight from the fridge on hot California summer days. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? I always felt like I gravitated toward lesser known grapes so it’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment. I remember going through Cabernet Franc and...
