The Winery
Founded by Sonoma County vintner Pat Paulsen and his wife Jane in 1971, Pat Paulsen Vineyards garnered tremendous praise and a wide following. By 1976, Pat Paulsen Vineyards was featured prominently as a vineyard designate, with wineries such as Pedroncelli Winery and Chateau St. The flagship wine, an Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon earned many gold medals throughout the years, taki
ng “Best of Show” awards at prestigious competitions. After establishing the winery as a serious player in the premium wine field, Pat Paulsen Vineyards released some very successful fun wines playing on Pat's dead pan humor, such as Refrigerator White, White House White, and American Gothic Red. Twenty years later, Pat’s son Monty Paulsen, a graduate of the UC Davis School of Winemaking and Duke Fuqua School of Business, has revived the winery and the brand. The winery has moved to Napa, with private event space and offices in Oakland, and a tasting room in Livermore to continue the tradition of producing outstanding wines of great value and serious quality. Teaming with his partner in crime, Gigi Benson, they aim to top the legacy they've inherited with "each and every bottle." The Flagship Brand
Our flagship brand, Pat Paulsen Vineyards, features wines from California’s finest grape-growing appellations. Each wine is a unique and limited blend that is made to compete with the best wines in the world. Small lots, single vineyards, guest winemakers and other collaborations have resulted in fine wines with solid pedigrees.
