The watchful eye of our winemaker, Tom Garrett—better known around here as the Zen Master. Years of experience have taught him that great winemaking starts long before the fruit reaches the winery. It starts here, among the vines, paying attention to every detail. 🍇

There’s nothing quite like seeing Cabernet hanging on the vine, soaking up the late afternoon sun. Beautiful fruit at Switchback Ridge and another reminder that every great bottle begins right here in the vineyard. 🍇

A true crown jewel of Switchback Ridge. These old-vine Petite Sirah blocks were planted by the Peterson family in 1956 and have been producing incredible fruit for generations. We feel incredibly fortunate to work with a piece of this historic vineyard—old vines, a remarkable site, and fruit with a character all its own. 🍇

One of the coolest finds tucked away at Switchback Ridge—this incredible old Dodge, slowly being reclaimed by the property, complete with a massive bird’s nest under the hood. A little piece of history surrounded by rows of beautiful Cabernet. There’s always something interesting to discover when walking this vineyard. 🍇

Kelly Peterson, her father, and our winemaker Tom Garrett out at Switchback Ridge, checking in on the vineyard and the incredible fruit being grown here. Great vineyards start with great people, and we feel incredibly fortunate to work with both at Switchback. 🍇

Cold Dakota Shy Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé, fresh oysters, and a beautiful Napa Valley afternoon. Sometimes the simplest pairings are the hardest to beat. 🥂🦪

Enologist and key member of the Dakota Shy winemaking team, Ellen brings wit, drive and an infectious smile to the cellar every day. And today she celebrates a new decade! Happy birthday, Ellen!

It’s hard to beat a BurgerDog and a great glass of Cabernet. We were thrilled to have the crew join us for our industry event—the perfect pairing for an afternoon of great wine, great food, and even better company. 🍷🍔

A few moments from one of our favorite events of the year—our Dakota Shy industry gathering. Great wine, incredible food, music, and a chance to spend the afternoon with so many of the people who make Napa Valley such a special community. Already looking forward to the next one. 🍷
