The story behind it

The maker

Rombauer Vineyards was founded in 1980 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer in the Napa Valley. Koerner's great-aunt, Irma Rombauer, authored the world-renowned cookbook 'The Joy of Cooking', establishing a deep family connection to food and wine pairings.

How it is made

Established in Carneros, Rombauer Vineyards has pioneered the buttery, rich style of California Chardonnay since their inaugural 1980 vintage. The cooling breezes of San Pablo Bay help the grapes retain the vibrant natural acidity necessary to balance the wine's bold oak profile.
