Our Wines

Bodkin’s Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from growers in Lake and Sonoma counties. A medium-bodied crowd-pleaser, the wine is relatively low in alcohol and bursts with refreshing citrus fruit flavors. The Bodkin winery recommends “live music, sunny days and fresh cuisine” as a suitable pairing. “To the victor go the spoils!” Wine lovers win out with this fresh and energetic Sauvignon Blanc.

Head High Chardonnay is luscious and mouthwatering, a wine that bursts with ripe pear and green apple flavors. And even though this zesty white is made from excellent Sonoma County fruit, it’s priced a lot lower than its pedigree would suggest. The secret lies in Bill Price’s excellent connections with owners of top, cool-climate Sonoma vineyards, who sell him their fruit at extremely friendly prices. In 2022, the fruit was sourced from three vineyards with varying microclimates and clonal selections. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel without undergoing malolactic fermentation. The flavors stay crisp and fresh— more apple and lemon and less tropical fruit, toast, and butter. Even so, this wine is full-bodied and luscious in its mouthfeel. An excellent choice with Thai-style grilled chicken.

Here’s a enticing wine that checks all the boxes for great Pinot but at a price far lower than one would expect. Head High is sourced largely from hillside vineyards in the Petaluma Gap AVA of Sonoma county. These sites see plenty of fog all summer, producing fruit that’s bright, refreshing and high in acidity. Added to the blend are grapes from inland vineyards where sunny afternoons produce fruit with higher sugars and darker flavors for intensity, richness and depth. All the vineyards have such great reputations that several of Sonoma’s best producers buy the grapes for their top wines. The bright red fruit, crisp acidity and power of this wine all stand out. Serving slightly chilled will help mute the sharp edges. 

A product of the cool Russian River Valley, Piper Sonoma’s Brut Rosé is crisp and fragrant, a delight to the eyes, nose and palate. While the blend of 54% Chardonnay, 39% Pinot Noir, and 7% Pinot Meunier differs little from the Brut in its ratio of white to red grapes, the cuvée includes a dash of Pinot Noir still wine, and the gorgeous pink color and tantalizing floral notes and red berry aromas are the result. A sparkling wine that will turn any gathering into an occasion, the Brut Rosé will pair well with sashimi, Thai duck curry, or most anything laid out to nibble on before a meal. 

Piper Sonoma Brut is made in the the traditional manner of the Champagne region in France. The grapes, a classic blend of 60% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier, are hand-harvested early in the season in order to ensure high acidity and low potential alcohol. Lots from vineyards in Sonoma, Carneros and Dry Creek Valley are fermented separately in stainless steel. In early winter, the wines are tasted and painstakingly blended in order to create a cuvée that maintains consistency with earlier vintages. The final blend is bottled with bit of yeast and sweetness to kick off the second fermentation inside each bottle. After 18 months of aging on the lees and further blending with 20 – 25% reserve wines (hence, the non-vintage dating), this delightful sparkling wine is ready to drink. Combining the sophistication and elegance of fine Champagne with the sunshine and bright fruit of California, Piper Sonoma offers value that says “no special occasion necessary!”
