Our grapes are sourced from vineyards in Santa Barbara County with a focus in Sta. Rita Hills and San Benito County. Our philosophy is to make hand-crafted, terroir-driven wines that are fermented with natural yeast and use minimal intervention in the winery, with only minimum amounts of SO2 at bottling. Our wines are also all unfined and unfiltered. We believe wine is made in the vineyard and we want to showcase the typicity of each site where the grapes come from. We source fruit from vineyards that share in the same values of respect for the land and their workers and works e with organic, biodynamic and regenerative farming vineyards. We are a team of two winemakers, Mireia Taribó and Tara Gomez, wife and wife, whose paths first crossed in 2006 through our work in the wine industry. Our friendship grew through wine and...

With a passion for single vineyard varietals, I partner with organic and sustainably farmed vineyards to create wines that are environmentally clean and express the essence of their origins. My philosophy focuses on showcasing unique microclimates and site-specific grape varietals that often play supporting roles in traditional blends but deserve their moment to shine. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, with Cuban heritage, I pursued my passion for winemaking by moving to Northern California in 2013. As a self-taught winemaker and alumna of the UC Davis Viticulture and Enology Winemaking certification program, I released my first vintage in 2014—a co-fermented Grenache/Mourvedre crafted from organically farmed Sonoma Coast fruit. In the cellar, my low-intervention approach embraces natural acidity, wild fermentation, non-interventionist aging, limited manipulation, and being sensorily vigilant ensuring that each vintage...

Like the Sicilian trinacria stamped on the label, the inspiration behind Clesi is a symbolic trifecta. Equal parts legacy, curiosity, and culture, Chris brings his Sicilian-American farming roots, love of eccentric varietals, and reverence for Italian culture into his winemaking process. Because of this, Clesi wines are elegant, food-focused, and meant to be shared amongst family and friends. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Nero d'Avola: Anyone who has been to both Sicily and Paso Robles would agree that the similarities are evident. Nero d'Avola has been cultivated for more than 500 years in Sicily and perfected for a dry and warm climate with ancient volcanic soils and marine influence. While we don't aim to replicate the delicious wines of Sicily, we do want to create an...

What began with founders Pam Starr and Charlie Crocker evolved into a modern estate rooted in authenticity, sustainability, innovation, and genuine connection. In our first decade, Pam and Charlie established the foundation for our legacy—creating world-class wines that earned the respect of top sommeliers and passionate wine lovers. The second decade expanded that vision: our team deepened our commitment to organic farming, elevated our hospitality experience, and broadened our estate wine portfolio. We closed this era with a major milestone: moving into our Napa Green–certified winery on the estate, further aligning our practices with our environmental values. Now at the end of our third decade, we continue to raise the bar. With the arrival of winemaker Julie Robertson and the leadership...

Along with her husband David and her two daughters, Kailyn and Amanda (sixth generation), Darcie Kent is committed to combining Livermore Valley terroir with her artistry and passion to forge and sustain a world-class, family-owned estate winery. We grow, barrel, and bottle all of our own wines. As a fifth-generation artist and vintner, Darcie’s bloodline runs through both art and wine. At Darcie Kent Estate Winery, art and wine are inextricable and inseparable from the natural world. Originally, we made just one wine, and we were obsessed with making it well: a Merlot from our original vineyard. When we began to branch out, we didn't just go to Cab and Chardonnay: we made Grüner Veltliner, Petite Sirah, and then branched out even further to Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Primitivo, and Albariño. Now, we...

Our wines are an homage to the public domain where artists, scientists, and innovators alike are able to build off the works (or wines!) that came before. Winemaking duo Ben and Sarah established Domaine Publica in 2024 and are so excited to share these fantastic wines with you. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? We love all of our grapes, but our favorite has to be our Falanghina. Grown in one of our favorite vineyards in California, the grapes make such a complex, ageable, and food-friendly wine. It can be quite finicky during the winemaking process and has shown it needs a little extra time in barrel, but the results are always worth it! What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Hard to remember the first time...
