Downing
Family Vineyards - Established in 1998, Downing
Family Vineyards produces small case lots of ultra-premium
Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Petite Sirah. The
labels represent things about which John and Tracy Downing
are passionate—flying, fly fishing, sailing and cycling.
Because of a shared fervor for flying, they decided to call
their Zinfandel “Fly By Night.” The airplane on
the label depicts a Beechcraft Staggerwing, an innovative
marvel of style and grace. When they are not flying, the Downing’s
spend time catch-and-release fly fishing. The Cabernet Sauvignon
is packaged in an award-winning bottle encircled by a delicate
line with a barbless fly at its end. The Shiraz label has
a J/105 sailboat like the one John and Tracy race.
Falcor
Wine Cellars - HOW MANY LAWYERS DOES IT TAKE
TO MAKE GREAT WINE? AT FALCOR, JUST 2! Mike Bee and Jim Peterson
are law partners at Hill, Peterson, Carper, Bee & Deitzler
in Charleston, WV. However, that is not prohibiting them from
making their case for outstanding wines in the Napa Valley.
In 1995, the dynamic duo began working with winemaker Ray
Coursen of Elyse Winery to produce their first vintage of
Falcor Chardonnay. Of the 192 cases made, the duo sold five,
gave five away and drank the rest.
Phoenix
Vineyards - The Bader family has been in the
wine grape growing business since the family bought eight
acres in the Western Napa Valley Together the family works
to produce Phoenix Vineyards' small output of 2,500 cases
annually. Now three generations are involved in the wine-making
business, producing estate wines crafted from some of the
best vineyards in the Napa Valley.
Gregory
Graham Wines - "The grapes can actually
tell you what they need and when they're ready to be picked,"
Greg explains. "Once the grapes are picked, the art of
winemaking begins as you coax and guide the wine to its fullest
potential."
Domaine
La Due - Our passion for wine drove us to create
Domaine La Due. Years of wine industry experience gave us
the confidence and ability to accomplish our goal. It is to
produce ultra-premium wines and offer them to consumers at
reasonable prices. Domaine La Due focuses exclusively on small
lots of Napa Valley wines.
Chateau
Potelle - Marketta and Jean-Noël Fourmeaux
came to California in 1980 as Official Wine tasters for the
French government. "We came to spy," jokes Marketta.
In reality, they were here on official business--to taste
California wines and learn about all aspects of California
winemaking philosophy and vineyard management. After six months
and tasting 2000 wines, they sent a telegram back home saying
"looks good, we stay". They returned to France,
packed up their two young daughters, Mariette and Clarisse,
and moved to California in 1983.
Hendry
- Each of the 50 blocks at the ranch is a product of our efforts
to discover the vineyard's full potential. To us, each block
is an experiment and results are obtained very slowly. With
our approach to farming, it takes about 7 years for root systems
and canopies to reach full development and several more to
understand how the wine will progress. As a result, it often
takes 10 years to discover if our choice of clone, root, and
varietal was appropriate for a given site. Our blocks will
continue to change as we learn and try new things, and because
they reflect the state of our vineyard, our wines will change
as well. Expressing the individuality of these blocks in the
wines made from them is educational for us and we hope it
is for you too.
Adastra
Wines - The name Adastra is taken from the Latin
saying per aspera ad astra, "through striving to the
stars." Adastra strives to produce intense, complex wines
that capture the essence of Adastra Vineyards, a unique combination
of fog, soil, clones and stars on twenty acres in the Napa
Carneros. Family-owned, Adastra is run by Chris Thorpe and
son-in-law Edwin Richards. Pam Starr has been Adastra's winegrowing
consultant since 1997.
Domaine
La Due - Our passion for wine drove us to create
Domaine La Due. Years of wine industry experience gave us
the confidence and ability to accomplish our goal. It is to
produce ultra-premium wines and offer them to consumers at
reasonable prices. Domaine La Due focuses exclusively on small
lots of Napa Valley wines.
Karl
Lawrence Cellars - Two very close friends with
a common dream of producing a fine wine founded Karl Lawrence
Cellars in 1991. The name "Karl Lawrence" comes
from combining the middle names of the two founding partners:
Michael Karl Trujillo and Bryan Lawrence Henry. Our venture
together will have the common goal of producing a unique and
outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon wine from the wonderful Napa
Valley.
Kirkland
Ranch Winery - At the Kirkland Ranch Winery,
you'll find a down-to-earth, unpretentious lifestyle, built
from generations of a strong family who traditionally work
the land and cattle. The Kirklands turned a portion of their
interest to vineyards in 1985 with a 3-acre test plot. As
quality and quantity of production continued, the Kirkland
family became a grape-growing resource for some of the larger,
world-renown wineries in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.
HaGafen
Cellars is located in the Napa Valley, in the
heart of California's premier wine grape region. Less than
a mile south of the famed Stags leap District and twenty
yards from the Oak Knoll District--Napa's newest and most
exciting of American Viticultural Areas--our well-drained
soil is ideal for the growth and production of ripe and
rich, intensely fruity small lot estate bottled wines.
Mahoney
Vineyards the culmination of 35 years of growing
and producing wines from the Carneros Region. Francis and
Kathy Mahoney invite you to experience the uniqueness of
their handcrafted wines, produced from the very best of
their 160 acres of vineyards.

individuals - Donald Patz, James Hall, Anne Moses and Heather
Patz - with an important diversity of experience and skills.

artisan wine brands. James Hall and Anne Moses have spent
