Cultured? Me? I like the sound of that and yes I’ll take it!

The 2024 Sangiovese from Lodi just landed on list of 8 essential wines to have at home — thank you to the incredible sommelier Kathryn Coker for the recommendation and writer Becky Cooper for the feature. What a great week that coincided with my launch with in New York. Things couldn't have been more serendipitous. Incredibly excited and greatful to have my wines now represented in the New York market.

Japan — WOW!

What an amazing few weeks between the ALIVE California Tastings with and FOODEX, sharing Terah Wine Co. wines with hundreds of sommeliers, buyers, and industry professionals—people deeply engaged with what’s in the glass.

A few moments that will stay with me—
The 2024 Shake Ridge Ranch Barbera featured in seminars led by Elaine Chukan Brown, representing the Sierra Foothills across Tokyo, Osaka, and Korea.

Additionally the 2024 Aligoté poured at the U.S. Embassy to mark the anniversary of the Judgment of Paris—a full circle moment I won’t forget which I'm extremely honored to have been apart of. Thank you 🙏🏽

Grateful for the conversations, the connections, and the time spent both on and off the floor. Huge thanks to the Japan team .ogiya .tejima for the great times and experiences!

This cool illustration included is from talented writer and illustrator with Yasuyuki Ukita—. thank you! We got to attend his book release and meet with winemakers from Hokaido. What a cool event!

Looking forward to the next time Japan!

What a great weekend.

I spoke at Night of Ideas on a panel with with and .sf. Hosted in the that moved thousands through conversations across culture, art, science, and community.

What stood out most was how expansive it felt. Wine wasn’t the center of the conversation—and that’s exactly the point. It exists inside larger systems: agriculture, identity, gathering, place.

That’s the work for me. Not just making wine, but contributing to how it lives in the world and sharing with others what I choose to spend my time on.

Grateful to be part of something that pushes the conversation wider.

If you were there, I’d love to hear what stuck with you.

Today is the day!!! I'm deeply honored that my 2024 Barbera has been selected for the California Wines Alive Master Class in Tokyo this week — led by Elaine Chukan Brown with .wines

This wine begins at Shake Ridge Ranch in Amador County, farmed by the extraordinary Ann Kraemer. Ann’s vineyard is one of the most thoughtfully stewarded sites in California, and every vintage is a reflection of her precision and care. The granitic soils, elevation, and farming choices shape a Barbera that is structured, lifted, and full of energy and verve.

To see this vineyard, this partnership, and this wine shared on an international stage means more than I can put into words.

From Ann’s rows in Amador County to a classroom in Tokyo — this is the power of place. I am incredibly grateful thank you

If you’ll be attending the Master Class on March 5, I would love to connect.

I’m headed to Boston for the very first Femme Fête — a celebration of women building, leading, creating, and taking up space in wine.

Terah Wine Co. was never meant to be a solo story. It’s powered by the women who show up — who support each other, invest in each other, and raise the bar together.

So to mark this inaugural event, I’m spotlighting two incredible women from our wine club. Not just members — community builders in their own right. .gulp

I asked them a few questions and their answer showcase what uplifting women actually looks like in real life.

Their answers? Honest. Grounded. Powerful.

Let’s celebrate women who build — businesses, families, culture, and tables worth gathering around. Excited for

Please join in on some of my events before the fair

Vintage 2025 — wrapped.

Harvest kicked off late this year with Sangiovese in Lodi on August 24, about 10 days later than usual. Then came the whites: verdejo, falanghina, syrah/grenache for rose production, barbera, late ripening Assyrtiko. The season didn’t officially wind down until October 13 with my final pick of Grenache from Paicines Ranch.

Each season teaches something different, and this one felt… calm. The cooler weather stretched things out and brought a slower, steadier pace that gave me a bit more space to observe and really hone in what each lot needed.

What struck me most is how each vintage gets a little easier—not because the work changes, or logistics get easier but because experience builds its own kind of confidence. Long days, small countless decisions, and the trust you grow in the process, your intuition, and with the growers all add up. This really is an endless journey of learning and growth. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

This year came with countless 1–4 a.m. picks to beat Bay Area traffic, thermoses of coffee, days of 400+ miles on the road, and more than a few moments watching the sun rise over a bin of fruit. I couldn’t have done it without the volunteers and friends who showed up, lifted, made sure I was fed, drove, and kept the energy going. Truly grateful for every early morning and helping hand all the way from NY!

The wines already reflect the season—bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced—and now begins the quiet part: letting them age and develop.

Vintage 2025 → in the books.
Thank you for following along and being part of this
