ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

David created the Jeanne Marie label (named after his wife) to offer great value California wine by utilizing the many contacts he has in Napa, Sonoma and the Central Coast to source the finest grapes available. Producers such as Caymus, Lewis Cellars and Miner Family provided grapes and helped with the winemaking for earlier cuvees. The wineries that are currently used wish to remain anonymous, but the quality has remained very high. These are delicious everyday wines to enjoy at home or by the glass at restaurants.
