DUNDEE HILLS, OREGON
Argyle Winery
Founded in 1987 as Oregon’s original sparkling wine house, Argyle quickly stood out as a study in contrasts – honoring the deep traditions of wine and embracing innovation and experimentation; proud to be Oregonian and pulling knowledge from winemakers around the world. When common knowledge said a winery could produce either great sparkling wine or great still wine, Argyle has responded over the last four decades with a portfolio of both acclaimed still and sparkling wines that have long astonished tasters with range, complexity, and quality.



Napa valley, California
Markham Vineyards
For over 40 years, Markham has been dedicated to Bordeaux varietals, with an unwavering commitment to Merlot. Winemaker Kimberlee Nicholls is at the helm of our winemaking team, crafting exceptional wines from our 260 acres of sustainably-farmed estate vineyards and land across Napa Valley. Markham believes in “partnering with purpose” and gives back to non-profit organizations committed to women’s equity in the wine, culinary, and hospitality industries.



RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY, SONOMA COUNTY
MacRostie Winery
Over the past three decades, MacRostie Winery and Vineyards has established itself as one of Sonoma Coast’s defining wineries, and a leader in a bright, balanced and age-worthy style of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Today, MacRostie is guided by Sonoma County visionary and winery founder Steve MacRostie, and talented winemaker Heidi Bridenhagen, who together are making the finest wines in the winery’s storied history. With breathtaking views from the MacRostie Estate House overlooking the Russian River Valley, the MacRostie hospitality team sets a standard of excellence in the region.



NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
TEXTBOOK
TEXTBOOK was inspired by the Pey Family’s travels in France and Italy, where they learned about wine and its place at the table. While abroad, they fell in love with European craftsmanship – wines made with structure, restraint, and revealing a ‘sense of place’. For nearly two decades, we’ve fulfilled that vision – crafting exceptional, while approachable wines that truly represents the best a region has to offer.



MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND
Wither Hills Winery
Established in 1994 with its first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc, Wither Hills lies in the shadow of the majestic Wither Hills range and has become an iconic part of the Marlborough landscape. All vineyards are Certified Sustainable Winegrowing NZ, and the state-of-the-art winery incorporates both innovation and tradition in its winemaking. With a hands-on approach and meticulous attention to detail, Wither Hills wines are crafted beautifully and reflect the region’s Tūrangawaewae (Māori for “place where we stand”).



NORTH COAST CALIFORNIA + OREGON
Dough Wines
Founded on the principle that change can rise from the smallest of actions, Dough Wines is a delicious opportunity to participate in progress. Crafted for those with a palate for purpose, Dough wines were created in collaboration with the James Beard Foundation and chefs to be both food friendly & future friendly. Dough proudly supports the Foundation’s efforts through an annual donation, with a goal over five years to make a $1,000,000 donation and combined investment to the JBF and scholarship partners.



ALEXANDER VALLEY, SONOMA COUNTY
The Counselor
It is the land that provides the ultimate counsel. With more than 30 years of experience in the Alexander Valley, winemaker Nick Goldschmidt takes his time, listens to the land for guidance, interprets the elements and shares the creation. The River Pass Vineyard is located just north of Healdsburg in Sonoma County. Nick Goldschmidt has been working this site for 20 years.



MT. FUJI, JAPAN
Fuji Whisky
FUJI Whisky is named after the most iconic landmark in Japan: Mt. Fuji, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, cultural inspiration and the location of Mt. Fuji Distillery which sits just 7.5 miles below the peak. Established in 1973 , our distillery brings the best of Japanese craftsmanship with Scottish, American and Canadian technology under one roof. Importantly, we are the only distillery who use Mt. Fuji snowmelt water in all processes of production. This water travels a 50-year journey from the peak of the mountain to the aquifer underneath our distillery. Filtered and polished by Mother Nature , our water is pure and soft – it is what we refer to as our precious gift from Mt. Fuji.



CENTRAL RANGES, AUSTRALIA
Inkberry
Inkberry is 100% crafted from its Mountain-Estate vineyard on the rugged Western side of Australia’s Great Dividing Range. The cold mountain air that once settled over the goldfields in Australia’s own wild west now nurtures the grapes in one of Australia’s best wine regions. Made from vines planted on ancient soil, Inkberry grapes get the first rays of sunlight that reach the slopes of our mountain estate giving the wines rich, fruit-forward flavors and a dark, inky complexion that can only occur through a methodical cool-climate ripening.
