Lorenzi Estate Vineyards and Winery: (lorenziestatewines.com)
Don Lorenzi boasts a simple hands-on approach: study the wines he loves, study how they are made, and source or grow the fruit needed to make them. Most importantly, he insists on shepherding the wine from fruit to bottle. What makes a great, small lot, handcrafted artisan wine? A wine made by a wine lover. Don makes a wine lover's wine. Partnered with his wife Brenda and his daughter Michelle, the trio remains committed to building the brand's identity on the platform of excellence.
