Andy Peay - "Pinot Pioneers" - From Wall Street to World Renowned Winemaker

In the mid-1990s, Andy Peay and his brother, Nick, set out to
find land for the vineyard they dreamt of creating. Eventually,
they settled on a property in California’s West Sonoma Coast, an
old sheep farm and apple orchard. Here, the brothers, along with
star winemaker and Nick’s wife, Vanessa Wong, built Peay
Vineyards, 53 acres of vines with six different grapes, where
they make elegant, refined wines that are an expression of the
land on which they are grown, land which, according to the NYT,
“offers distinctive qualities shown transparently in their wines,
primarily complex, polished pinot noirs; savory syrahs; fresh,
intense chardonnays; and smaller amounts of vibrant Rhône
whites.” Peay won SF Chronicle’s 2010 Winery of The Year, and for
good reason. Andy’s wines are now poured in the finest
restaurants in America, and are objectively sublime. Drink this
wine and enjoy Andy’s inspiring journey.
