1 Chappellet Vineyard 1581 Sage Canyon Road Saint Helena, CA chappellet.com The Chappellet family s romance with Pritchard Hill started more than four decades ago when Donn and Molly Chappellet first glimpsed its magnificent vista of forests and wildflower-filled meadows. The Chappellets settled on Pritchard Hill s rock slopes, becoming the first winery to plant vineyards exclusively on high-elevation hillsides. The rugged terroir has become legendary for producing wines of great intensity and depth, and Chappellet wines have consistently received the highest praise from critics, and are sought after by the world s premier collectors. We invite you to experience Chappellet s extraordinary wines and the stunning natural beauty of Pritchard Hill.

(Regularly $60) Frog s Leap Winery 8815 Conn Creek Road Frogsleap.com Frog's Leap was founded by the Williams Family in The way we make our wine at Frog s Leap is fundamentally linked to the way we grow our grapes. We believe that a grapevine should be grown in healthy soil that supports all the nutrient needs of the plant and so we started farming organically over 20 years ago. We also believe that most of the great and historic wines of the world have been made from non-irrigated grapevines which is why we dry-farm all 250 acres of our vineyards. We accept the premise that the first responsibility of a wine is to reflect its unique soil, climate and circumstance collectively referred to as terroir and therefore it is the duty of the winemaker to be transparent and let the natural beauty of the grapes show through. Our commitment is to endeavor to make wines of elegance and beauty that will offer immense pleasure in the short term while holding out the possibility of great reward with proper aging. GEMS Benefit: Frog s Leap is pleased to offer GEMS members a 10% discount on any wine purchase, without minimums or limits, both in person at the winery or in our online shop.
