Mauritson winery of Dry Creek Valley currently is making the wine, which was first released in March 2015. Parmeson moved from Texas in 2013 to start his 750-case-a-year brand. 30–31 to explain his wines as they were poured. He was at the tasting counter of the lounge on Jan. One such vintner was Tom Parmeson, owner and winemaker of Parmeson Wines in the Dry Creek Valley winegrowing region. Sonoma County Vintners lined up 54 “pouring partner” vintners to supply wine for the lounge.

7, the day of the game at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. For the game’s 50th anniversary this year, Super Bowl City is running from Jan. The “city” is a street fair host cities of the game in recent years have been setting up in the days before the game to stretch tourism dollars throughout a metropolitan area. The Sonoma County trio brought in GMR Marketing to design a temporary “lounge” venue position next to the Ferry Building entrance. The Super Bowl 50 Host Committee named Sonoma County and Napa County destination sponsors. Sonoma County Vintners, Sonoma County Winegrowers and Sonoma County Tourism - called the “trio” - blended efforts to get a front-row seat at Super Bowl City. Thousands of visitors to the Super Bowl-themed fan village in downtown San Francisco this week leading up to the “big game” are getting a taste of Sonoma County wine and tourism. We’ve taken on-and are sharing-important new initiatives to protect the land for generations to come.Fifty-four Sonoma County wineries are “pouring partners” of the Taste of Sonoma lounge at Super Bowl City in San Francisco from Jan. Just as we led the way for winemaking in the Santa Maria Valley, we want to be a guiding light for other wineries in the region. We are both Sustainability In Practice (SIP) Certified and carry the Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing (CCSW) seal on all of our wines. We know we’re working with something really special here, and we want to keep it that way. For Julia and Katie, who spent their childhoods here and know the land better than anyone, it’s a thrill to produce grand cru wines from their namesake vineyards - Julia’s Vineyard and Katherine’s Vineyard But it’s not just a place to grow fantastic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay we consider the land home, our place to kick back, hang out, and enjoy a glass of wine (or three).


Along with our grapevines-including several plots of gnarly, awesome old vines-our land is a utopia for local wildlife, such as wild pigs, baby owls. Our estate fruit comes from our 1,500 acres of sustainably-farmed vineyards. Adding to our collective of strong female leadership is general manager and former head winemaker Denise Shurtleff, and head winemaker Jill Russell. To this day, our estate remains family-owned and under the care of Barbara and her daughters, Katherine and Julia Jackson. They knew they were part of a group of pioneers who were onto something big, some-thing exciting - something that was going to add a new chapter to the story of California wine. Our founders, Barbara Banke and Jess Jackson, however, saw Santa Barbara County as more than a beautiful spot (within that 40-minute drive you transition from gorgeous beaches to rolling mountains and farmland). Just a 40-minute drive from one of California’s top surf spots in the Pacific Ocean, you’ll find the Santa Maria Valley AVA, a stretch of land we call home. Maybe it’s the land, maybe it’s the team-maybe it’s just from drinking and sharing all that delicious wine-but we can’t think of a better place to be than our estate in the Santa Maria Valley. Here at Cambria Estate Winery, we love our work. According to our head winemaker Jill Russell, "Happy people make great wine." It’s a simple idea, but it’s true.
