    Lasseter Family Winery, California
    In 1993, Nancy and John Lasseter moved to the town of Sonoma, and they soon discovered the art of winemaking through a small group of winemaking friends. As time went on, their passion evolved from simple wine appreciation to a point where they realized they had become very much immersed in the winemaking process. With the desire to craft wines in an old world style, the Lasseters started making wine at Remick Ridge in 2000. The dream of Lasseter Family Winery was slowly evolving, and John and Nancy began to consider options for a winery of their own. When a historic Sonoma Valley winery and vineyard property (in need of significant restoration and renovation) became available in 2002, John and Nancy decided it was the perfect place to continue their story. In their quest to make world-class wines, the Lasseters partnered with Sonoma County winemaker Julia Iantosca. John and Nancy’s passion for blended wines perfectly matches Julia’s approach to winemaking, and together they have been fine-tuning the estate vineyards, developing signature blends and meticulously defining the Lasseter Family Winery house style. Additionally, the Lasseter cellar team brings an intimate knowledge of Sonoma Valley winemaking to the adventure. Today, three generations of the Lasseter family are working together to make distinctive wines that are uncompromising in style, informed by art, and produced with a convivial approach to the family business.

    With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.

    Sonoma Valley Wine

    Sonoma County, California

    Perhaps the most historically significant appellation in Sonoma County, the Sonoma Valley is home to both Buena Vista winery, California's oldest commercial winery, and Gundlach Bundschu winery, California's oldest family-run winery.

    It is also one of the more geologically and climactically diverse districts. The valley includes and overlaps four distinct Sonoma County sub-appellations, including Carneros, Moon Mountain District, Sonoma Mountain and Bennett Valley. With mountains, benchlands, plains, abundant sunshine and the cooling effects of the nearby Pacific, this appellation can successfully produce a wide range of grape varieties. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer, and most notably, Zinfandel all thrive here. Ancient Zinfandel vines over 100 years old produce small crops of concentrated, spicy fruit, which in turn make some of the Valley's most unique wines. These can also be made as “field blends” (wines made from a mix of grape varieties grown in the same vineyard) along with Petite Sirah, Carignan and Alicante Bouschet.
