Jason Stephens Winery, Gilroy www.jstephens.com
Creekview Vineyards, San Martin www.creekviewvineyards.com
As a bootstrapped, grass-roots winery, Jason Stephens has quickly grown into an up and coming label, and one of the best kept secrets in Northern California. Jason Goelz had a dream of entering into the wine industry with great wines after his education at Cal Poly and starting out as a small lot wine maker. Initially, he consulted with Dorcich in managing the wines and sales of the wines to other high-end wineries in Napa and throughout California. The consulting arrangement established a strong vineyard manager/winemaker relationship that is essential in crafting exceptional wines for Jason Stephens. Creekview: Winemakers Gregory and Teri Peterson have been passionate about wine for over 25 years. From here the two attended vineyard management classes at UC Davis and started planting small blocks of vines on the property. The Peterson’s then started entering their wines into competitions and consistently received awards including, double gold, gold, silver and bronze. The overwhelming feedback they received influenced them to bond their winery in 2005.
WINES: the grapes are from Santa Clara Valley Vineyards, except where noted.
