Dry Creek Vineyard is owned by the renowned vintner, David Stare. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago at a wine tasting event, and his passion for winemaking was truly inspiring. David Stare is a visionary in the wine industry, and he played a significant role in introducing the grassy, grapefruit style of Sauvignon Blanc to the United States.
I remember David sharing the story of how he first discovered this unique style of Sauvignon Blanc during a trip to the Loire Valley in France. He was captivated by the vibrant flavors and aromas of the wine, and he knew he had to bring this style back to California. With a deep belief in the potential of Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley, David founded Dry Creek Vineyard in 1972.
Since its establishment, Dry Creek Vineyard has become one of the most esteemed wineries in California, known for producing exceptional Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other varietals such as Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay. David's commitment to quality and sustainable farming practices has earned Dry Creek Vineyard a reputation for producing wines of exceptional character and elegance.
I had the pleasure of tasting some of Dry Creek Vineyard's wines during my visit to their tasting room. The Sauvignon Blanc was indeed a standout, with its bright acidity, refreshing citrus notes, and that signature grassy character that has become synonymous with the Dry Creek style. It was a true testament to David Stare's pioneering spirit and dedication to crafting wines of the highest caliber.
Beyond his contributions to the world of wine, David Stare is also deeply involved in the local community. He has been a strong advocate for preserving the natural beauty of the Dry Creek Valley and has been actively involved in various sustainability initiatives. I was impressed by his commitment to not only producing exceptional wines but also being a responsible steward of the land.
