Join us for our next WINERY SPOTLIGHT tasting event, featuring Goldschmidt Vineyards.

NICK GOLDSCHMIDT, Winemaker and owner

Both originally from New Zealand, Nick Goldschmidt and his wife Yolyn are both owners/vintners and have followed their passion for wine to California.  Join us as we taste some of their incredible single vineyard wines from some of the best vineyards in Alexander Valley, Napa Valley and Russian River Valley.

In 1998 Nick and Yolyn, established their own line of wines with the release of Goldschmidt Vineyards. Having produced so many world class wines from around the globe, they knew exactly which vineyard sites they would choose to make Goldschmidt wines.

GOLDCHMIDIT VINEYARDS

For the Goldschmidt Vineyard brand they have created two distinct Cabernet Sauvignons, one from Alexander Valley in Sonoma and the other from Oakville in Napa Valley. The Cabernet Sauvignon is from two prestigious vineyards in Northern California, located on the northeastern slope in the Alexander Valley, and Game Ranch Vineyard, located on old river bottom on the eastern bench of the Silverado Trail. Both showcase the optimum silhouettes of Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley and Napa Valley.

Under the Forefathers brand Nick and Yolyn produce a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, an Australian Shiraz, and a California Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines Nick and Yolyn Goldschmidt produce are all single vineyard, 100% varietal, handcrafted, small production artisan wines.

Joined periodically in the field by their five children, the Goldschmidt expertise is being passed down to the next generation, as evidenced in the wines released under the labels Chelsea Goldschmidt, Hilary Goldschmidt and Katherine Goldschmidt. The winery offices are located in Healdsburg, California.

Attend our Winery Spotlight, and taste wines from premium vineyards!

Join Us For A Tasting Event Featuring Owen Roe!

SINCE THEIR FIRST VINTAGE IN 1999, OWEN ROE HAS STRIVED TO PRODUCE BEAUTIFUL WINES FROM SUPERIOR SITES IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. A PLACE WHERE THE FRUIT RIPENS SLOWLY AND FULLY, RESULTING IN EXCELLENT ACIDITY AND BALANCE. GRAPES ARE HAND HARVESTED, HANDLED WITH MINIMAL PROCESSING, SMALL-LOT FERMENTED AND AGED IN FRENCH OAK BARRELS.

Established in 1999, Owen Roe’s emphasis towards Northwest wines has evolved to showcase the unique terroir within the prestigious grape growing regions of the Yakima and Willamette Valleys. Co-Owners, David & Angelica O’Reilly and Ben & Julie Wolff share a passion and history dedicated to fine wines and together, they have developed a diversified portfolio that has been recognized globally by critics, wine writers and consumers.

The map below represents the two appellations in which they source and craft their Pacific Northwest wines.

The winery is named after Owen Roe O’Neil, a 17th century Irish Patriot who dedicated his life to upholding the highest principles of political equality and freedom. Owen Roe winery shares his dedication to principle with meticulous attention to every aspect of the wine bottled.  Using minimal handling and traditional techniques, Owen Roe uses organic materials in the wine making process and no herbicides or pesticides used in vineyards.

Winemaker David O’Reilly, originally from Ireland, has been working with wine for over 20 years.  He first developed interest in wine while attending college in California. After graduating, he began working at a small winery in Santa Barbara.  After a few years, he was drawn to Oregon to work at Elk Cover Winery.  In 1994, he joined forces with Peter Rosbeck to make wines under the Sineann label and shortly thereafter formed Owen Roe Winery.  Over the last 10 years, David has worked to pioneer winemaking in the Yakima Valley AVA. This region presents the new world with an outstanding opportunity to create old world, right bank style wines.  David is able to harvest fruit that best translates naturally into his signature style, wines with deep fragrance and lush flavors balanced by elegant structure.
