Countdown to Wine Flair SF is on, and we are thrilled that Tara Gomez and Mireia Taribo from Camins 2 Dreams will be joining us! 🍾 Camins 2 Dreams is a family-owned winery founded in 2017 by the wife winemaking duo, Tara Gomez, a member of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, and Mireia Taribó, hailing from Catalunya.  Together, they craft wines that celebrate their diverse heritage while embracing a philosophy of minimal intervention—fermented with natural yeast and low levels of SO2. Committed to showcasing the distinct character of each vineyard, they exclusively partner with organic, biodynamic, and regenerative vineyards in San Benito and Santa Barbara County, with a focus in Sta. Rita Hills AVA, all of which uphold a deep respect for the land and its workers.  In addition to their delicious wines made from Gruner Veltliner, Carignan, and a host of other grapes, Camins 2 Dreams made a Guardian Vital Syrah in 2023. Tara Gomez is on The Vinguard’s advisory board, and both she and Mireia have joined us at Wine Flair in Austin,  Los Angeles, and San Francisco. We’re so happy to have them back in the Bay! Tickets for Wine Flair SF are live now via the link in our bio! 🍇 📸 by @emmakcreative #wineflair #thevinguard #womeninwine #lgbtqcommunity #naturalwine

When you put two leader minded Leos 🦁 together, it's an instant friendship! I met Jackie long before going viral was a thing and when you you just did things out of the kindness of your heart! She invited me to the 1467 cellars Sauvignon blanc release party and everyone was raving about how delicious, crisp, and flavorful it was. I had 6/7 glasses no lies, and took one home. Please support this family's wines and merch. She demonstrated that when I invited her to my event and at the last minute it was sadly cancelled. @bebubbly.club opened her doors for me last minute and I'll be forever grateful and love her for that, but I still needed people there and Jackie stopped by! From day one she's been a gem and motivational friend to me and i support and promote her and her family's ambitious dreams to one day own their own Mexican owned wines from Napa valley. #BeingWinefulIsBliss Bebe #BeingMindfulIsKey 1467 Cellars' story is interwoven with the tale of one man's pursuit of the American Dream. In the 1950s, Juan Roldan, our family's patriarch, left the quaint town of Acopinalco del Peñon in Tlaxcala, Mexico, and journeyed to the vast expanses of the United States. His drive? A vision of providing a flourishing life for his family. #1467cellars ​ Juan's path led him to the Bracero program, an initiative during the late 1950s and early 1960s that offered short-term agricultural contracts. From the golden fields of California to the vine-laden stretches of St. Helena, Juan's hands touched the very essence of the land. It was in these grapevines that a passion was kindled—a passion that would be passed down through the generations. #MexicanOwnedWines Fast forward to today, and Juan's dedication reverberates through the Napa Valley. His grandson, Erik Ayala, now takes the mantle as the chief winemaker at 1467 Cellars. Alongside him is his father, Ruben Ayala, both working diligently at Pride Mountain Vineyards. Their combined efforts, rooted in family and a deep love for wine, have given birth to the exquisite offerings of 1467 Cellars. Each bottle, a narrative in itself, is lovingly bottled and cellar in the heart of St. Helena, California. #RazaOwnedWines

Wine festivals with wine friends are ushering in a summer that feels more hopeful than the vino headlines would suggest. Celebrations of small producers draw the communities that support them, creating spaces where growers, winemakers, restaurants, retailers, and wine lovers can show up for one another. It doesn't hurt that they're a real good time. There's a lot of vitality out there right now, blossoming from the connections so many of these festivals foster.

Another great @winefaresf in the books! This was the 9th annual Women in Natural Wine Fare! Quality was incredible this year, and it was so special to taste with all the amazing women who were pouring, especially those who are just getting their start. Being on the other side of the table this year as a volunteer and a guest was a gift. Support @the.vinguard with a donation to keep this work going!

Perhaps like me, these days, you struggle to find hopeful things. Attending @winefare hosted by @catharineclarkgallery broke that spell — reminding me that answers exist, that they are being implemented, and that they must start somewhere, with someone. Too much good wine for mehdi_somm on that day, you might think... @thevinguard organized a panel to discuss regenerative viticulture, which evolved from organic and sustainable farming. Regenerative viticulture considers vineyards agroecosystems — integrating vines, cover plants, animals, insects and more, with the goal of improving resources such as soil and water. Reviving microbiology, organisms, nutrients and soil structure is central to this practice. A healthy ecosystem can largely sustain itself naturally. However, regenerative viticulture also looks to continually improve social measures, not just environmental ones. @thevinguard board member Tiffani Patton of @laughing_gems_wine led a fantastic panel including viticulturist Prudy Foxx, Jill Matthiasson of @matthiasson_wine, and Matt Walsh of @paicinesranch. A few things I noted: -At @paicinesranch, regenerated soil has taken a vineyard from 7 plant species to over 100. -Regenerative practice is not a naive endeavor. It is a sound approach — with compromises, trials, errors and hard work — that must be economically viable. -Matthiasson has unquestionably witnessed vines producing higher quality grapes. -Community and knowledge exchange are necessary engines of the movement — giving others the confidence to make the transition. -@paicinesranch trains their vines high, with space below for sheep to roam — as natural lawnmowers and fertilizers. -Matthiasson's employees receive generous health plans that many corporations fail to match. Prudy Foxx has observed better life conditions for workers through minimum wage increases — fewer hardships, access to better cars and clothes, and younger generations highly motivated to gain expertise. What is hopeful? Rodale Institute defined the framework for regenerative agriculture in the 1980s. Today, the practice is proven, expanding, and represents an incredible improvement over conventional agriculture.
