Murder Ridge Winery

Winemaker: Steve Adler

Inspired by the mysterious tale of a century-old murder, Murder Ridge Winery, led by California winemaker Steve Adler, pays homage to the haunting past with its label and logo. The vineyards of Perli Vineyards, where the grim events unfolded, now flourish under Adler's stewardship, producing unique wines in the rugged terrain of Mendocino Ridge.

Leo Steen Wines

Winemaker: Leo Hansen

All of my wines are made by my own hand in small lots using gentle, traditional winemaking techniques. In the spectrum of California winemaking, they are crafted at lower alcohols, with very modest amounts of new oak, or none at all. While my wines offer lovely fruit, I strive to express the purity of these flavors as part of a balanced and harmonious whole. Finally, to ensure that every barrel of wine receives the attention it deserves (an idea symbolized by my Sommelier Prints),

I make less than 1,000 cases each vintage.

Monchiero Carbone

Winemaker: Francesco Monchiero

Owned and operated by husband and wife Francesco and Lucrezia Monchiero, (Francesco is the son of founders, Marco Monchiero and Lucia Carbone). On the label, as a constant reminder of their family's history in the area and the traditions they seek to uphold, the Monchieros have added the phrase (from local dialect) "Ogni uss a l'ha so tanbuss" – "Every door has its knocker."

 

“At the beginning of my adventure, the figure of my father, Marco Monchiero, was crucial… I mean all the work of setting up the company, the comparison among different production methods, the choices of cellar techniques, but I also remember the numerous clashes… In the end I was able to follow my own path and I thank him for letting me to do so independently.”

—Francesco Monchiero

Famiglia Bruno

Winemaker:

The winemaking lessons that papa Bruno learned in sunny Italy were on display here in America when he and others like him immigrated. From canning garden-grown and curing meats to home brewing wine and spirits, the first generation harvested and processed their food in the same manner they would in Italy. When papa joined mamma and daughter, Melissa E. Marinaro, in May 1957, he brought with him a bucketful of winemaking and fruit-producing schemes and techniques

he wanted to establish with Italian family and friends on Buffalo’s Lower West Side. Papa was looking for the magic to reproduce the robust taste of Abruzzi fine wines in Italy. It was tradition to crush and process the grapes in the basement with mamma’s or another family member’s help. Winemaking was culturally prideful.
