featuring: Tom Gamble, Owner/Farmer
Wednesday October 25, 2017 7:00 pm
My (ad)venture in wine seems to me to be a natural progression of history. As a third generation Napa farmer, I have been influenced all my life by my forebears' lives in agriculture. They have left, as part of their legacy, their deep and abiding affinity for the land from which came not only their livelihood, but also a life full of purpose. I am hopeful I can transfer that way of life to yet another ...

Mauritson Winemaker Dinner, March 29, 2017
A Passion for Winemaking
Winemaking may have been the logical evolution in our family’s long history of farming in the Dry Creek Valley, however, it took an absence from the valley and attention to those inner voices that led Clay Mauritson back to these same vineyards that he spent planting, tending and picking as a teen. What he came to realize was that he already had a lifetime of understanding about the subtleties and strengths of each micro-climate within the Dry Creek, Rockpile and Alexander Valleys. The only thing left was to DREAM BIG!

Côte Bonneville Winemaker Dinner February 1, 2017
We believe great wine is made in the vineyard. In 1992 Hugh and Kathy Shiels planted DuBrul Vineyard in the Yakima Valley of Washington State. The steep south-facing hillside yields grapes with unique flavors and structure. In 2001 we founded Côte Bonneville to produce classically styled wines that best express our spectacular site. Kerry, our winemaker, creates beautiful wines from all our varietals, showcasing each terroir.
