This must be the place…
We are thrilled to announce our biggest adventure yet - the opening of our new headquarters and tasting space in the Tannery District along the Napa River, aptly named The River Club, in partnership with our friends from Paper Planes Wine Co.

Good things can come from sliding into a stranger's DMs...
Let’s take it back, way back, to 2018 when John Krutsinger was in Napa and tasted a wine that altered his course. John and his family had recently purchased a plot of land near Columbia State Historic Park, at 2200' elevation in Springfield. With big dreams of planting a vineyard and running a regenerative farm full of biodiveristy, John, Sarah and their son, Johnny, had quite the adventure ahead of them.
Wild, Wild Life
Can you believe it's been five years since we had our first release and got to share a glass of Mourvèdre with our earliest supporters? If you would’ve told us what the next five years were going to bring... we would’ve done it anyway, because we’re wild like that! It's been an incredible adventure. In this time we have welcomed our two daughters, pivoted more times than Ross Geller, and have made some great memories with you along the way.
Leap of Faith
Mother Nature has a special way of reminding us that the true magic of winemaking lies in our ability to adapt when the unexpected occurs. Seizing the opportunity to get creative has led to some of our most unique and exciting wines. The 2022 growing season became one of those opportunities when a "once in a 40-year" frost happened after bud break in El Dorado, leaving little fruit in the vineyards.
Follow the Sun
One of the highlights of the trip was enjoying a bottle of our 'Chasing the Sunset' Rosé for sundowners at Chapman's Peak (the location on the label and our favorite sunset spot). It felt like a full circle moment, shared with family, making it even more special.
Take the scenic route
The magic of the harvest season is bigger than wine. People from all over the world leave their lives behind for a bit to take part in a shared experience. Community is formed, cultural traditions are traded, lovers meet, and lives are changed.
