Gentleman Farmer

Based in Yountville, a Napa Valley boutique winery, crafting Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Bordeaux style blends.

Gentleman Farmer is a Napa Valley boutique winery, producing less than a thousand cases of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and a blended Red Wine with each harvest. Our wines are crafted to be full bodied in the glass and graceful companions at the table. They become more articulate when you enjoy with food, extending the charms brought to life with meals.

We’re thrilled to share that Gentleman Farmer Wines is part of something truly special this fall. 🍷✨

Mendocino Grove has partnered with local wineries and chefs to create a Monthly Wine Dinner Series—a magical blend of wine, food, and the great outdoors. Imagine gathering under the redwoods, a long table filled with seasonal dishes, perfectly paired wines, and conversation that lingers into the night.

We’ll be pouring Gentleman Farmer alongside incredible company, and we’d love for you to join us.

📅 September 18th 6:00pm

This is more than a dinner—it’s an experience. One that brings together community, connection, and the joy of slowing down with wine and food in nature.

June is for garden tomatoes, long lunches, and Pride. 🏳️‍🌈

This month, we released our 2022 Pride Red—a Napa Valley blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, wrapped in a rainbow and made in extremely small quantities (only 25 cases).

Ten percent of proceeds go to three organizations doing meaningful work for LGBTQ+ youth: It Gets Better, LYRIC, and VOICES Napa.

We’re proud to support them.
Proud of this wine.
Proud, period.

Available now, while it lasts.

— Joey & Jeff

One week from today, our new YouTube series officially launches. 🎬🍷

This project has been a long time in the making — born from our love of gathering, storytelling, and sharing the beauty of life here in Napa Valley. You’ll find wine, food, hospitality… and a few surprises along the way.

We can’t wait to welcome you in.

🗓 First episode drops June 27 — just in time for Pride and Joey’s birthday.

Leigh-Ann Beverly walked into our bungalow with a camera around her neck and light in her eyes.

It was clear from the start: she doesn’t just take photos—she captures moments with feeling. Her work is honest, kinetic, and deeply rooted in the human connection.

After years in the wine world, Leigh-Ann turned her lens toward the people and places behind the bottle, telling stories that might have otherwise gone unseen.

Her photography is soulful and grounded, with just enough edge to keep you leaning in.

We caught up recently to talk about creativity, curiosity, and the power of seeing the world one frame at a time.

Aïoli is not just mayo’s fancy French cousin—it’s garlic-driven, unapologetically bold, and meant to be slathered, dipped, or dolloped without restraint.

Some may tell you it should only be garlic, egg yolk, and oil. Others whisk in lemon and maybe a little mustard. I take some liberty, and I let the ingredients weave their way into an emulsion that tastes like summer on the Mediterranean.

I make it by hand with a mortar and pestle when I’m feeling tactile and romantic, but more often with a whisk and a bowl. If pressed for time, I will use a blender or food processor.

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s punch.

Serve it with crudités, roasted potatoes, poached fish, or spooned into a sandwich in place of anything less exciting. It should be garlicky, yes, but not hostile. Sharp but charming. Like any good, fine companion at your table.

This month, I am serving this with vegetables, crusty bread, and our Gentleman Farmer Napa Valley Rosé.

Last week, I met with our winemaker Jérôme Chéry around my dad’s old oak desk covered with over fifty glasses of wine—barrel samples of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, each telling its own story. The goal: dial in our blends for summer bottling.

We tasted through barrels from a range of coopers—different forests, toast levels, stave thickness—all adding nuance and complexity to the final wine.

Primary aromas come from the grape. Secondary aromas? That’s where the winemaker steps in and the barrels are part of this equation. The spice, the smoke, the subtle oak—that’s the craft.

The best part of blending is when a little magic shows up in the math. Sometimes one plus one can equal four.

After we landed on the final blends, Jeff—who patiently kept us fueled with black tea—tackled the mountain of stemware. He’s still recovering. Bottling is set for mid-July.

All in a day’s work, and the unavoidable dishpan hands that come with it.

Last month, we sat down with Donna Crooner for our monthly Field Notes newsletter.

Donna Cooner writes the kind of stories that stay with you—honest, layered, and tuned to the quiet struggles and triumphs of growing up. She’s a storyteller, an educator, and, as I recently learned, a former scribe for Barney the Dinosaur. Yep, the big purple guy.

Donna first came into the Gentleman Farmer Bungalow one afternoon for a glass of wine, to edit a new manuscript, and even stayed for dinner. We started talking, and I quickly realized her stories extend far beyond the page.

Her young adult novels explore identity, self-worth, and the messy terrain of adolescence in a filtered, fast-moving world. Now she’s stepping into adult fiction with a new book set in the Scottish Highlands. We sat down to talk about her journey from kindergarten teacher to best-selling author, her love of journaling, and what it means to truly live—with intention, humor, and plenty of lasagna.

Her books have been translated into French, Basque, Norwegian, Swedish, Russian, and Finnish

At the Bungalow, even the chairs have a story.

These were once part of Joey’s childhood home—Branch Furniture, lovingly reupholstered to begin a new chapter here.

They’ve held family, friends, and now, guests who become both. Just like our wines, they carry memory and meaning in every detail.

Pull up a seat. Stay awhile.

25/04/2025

We host up to 14 guests at a time for wine tastings paired with breakfast, lunch, or dinner—each one prepared by us, served in our Gentleman Farmer Bungalow, and centered around conversation, connection, and the kinds of meals that feel like home.

Expect family recipes, a few old-school flourishes (hello, 1970s Julia Child), and wines with stories to tell.

If that sounds like your kind of table, we hope you'll stop by our downtown Napa tasting room soon.

🍷Does size matter? When it comes to wine glasses… Jeff says yes—but not how you’d think.

Every morning, we taste the wines before guests arrive. Jeff insists his tiny tasting glass brings out more concentrated flavors and aromas. Joey’s not convinced.

Come decide for yourself. 😉

Tick-tock with a touch of nostalgia. This 1950s cuckoo clock once belonged to Joey’s mother, who lived in Germany. Now it keeps time—and memories—here at the Bungalow. ⏰🕊️

Spring in Napa Valley is subtle and also bright. Longer light, soft green hues in the vineyard, bud break, and citrus at the market.

This recipe for citrus curd is my way of holding onto that brightness.

It’s smooth, tart, and just sweet enough, made with whatever late winter/early spring zesty fruit looks best that week—lemon, orange, or something in between.

Rather than dairy, I incorporate a little more sunshine with fruity olive oil. I like to serve it with our Chardonnay cake, Negroni snacking cake, or clafoutis with a glass of Chardonnay.

You can get the recipe for this and the cake recommendations on our website: https://gentlemanfarmerwines.com/recipe/olive-oil-lemon-curd/?mc_cid=b0867950f1&mc_eid=1108c1c5df
