That's all for 2021!
As 2021 comes to a close, we want to recognize what a huge year this was for us. We got to celebrate our 20th year anniversary, the addition of 60,000 square feet of solar to the winery, as well as winning a great local accolade for the third year in a row. To commemorate the year of 2021, we want to share our favorite Instagram posts, as they reflect a lot of what we did in 365 days. Here’s to 2022!
#1
Adopt-A-Road reveal: This is so special to us because we have worked so hard, for many years, to keep the roads by our vineyards clean. We’re so grateful to our community because of the continuous support. We give back because we believe it’s the right thing to do, but many community members support us solely out of the kindness of their hearts, and that means the world to us.
#2
Harvest Intern Life: This post captured what it’s like to be a harvest intern! While the interns were busy all day, they almost always said ‘yes’ to making a fun video. We are so proud of them for all the hard work they put in every day, they kept the production ship afloat! From early morning grape pressing, to late night punch downs, these interns did it all, including creating some fun content!

John’s birthday: John Balletto turned 62 this year, and on his birthday, he got up at 3 am to harvest some grapes! While this might not be everyone’s ideal birthday celebration, it was for John! This is what he loves to do, and that’s all that matters when it comes to celebrating your birthday! Cheers to you John!
#4
Father’s Day: It’s been about family from day one with John. From picking up the vegetable business in order to support him and his mother, to building a family of his own with his wife Terri. John’s passion for the land and community pushed his dream forward into what it is today.
#5
Best Red Wine: For the third year in a row, we won The Press Democrat’s ‘Best of Sonoma County’ for Best Red Wine. It takes a lot of hard work to make the wines we do, and we’re so happy that our community enjoys the wine as much as we do. Here’s to 4 years in a row!
#6
Dog Contest: We know just about everyone loves dogs, so we love sharing some of the friends that visit our tasting room! Leading up to National Dog Day, we hosted an Instagram contest, but let our followers decide on a winner, and it was a huge success! With a prize box with special gifts from tons of local shops, our winner was sure happy!
