Thomas’ entrance into the wine industry was sparked during a 1999 wine tasting trip to the Burgundy wine region in France. At the time he was a senior financial executive for a large biotechnology company and prior to going on that tasting trip, Thomas never dreamed of owning his own vineyards or making wine. It was that wine tasting trip in 1999 that altered his dreams, and led him to chart a new course in life… a life in the wine industry as a vintner. With this new found enthusiasm driving him forward, in 2001, Thomas was able to purchase a 36-acre parcel of land to begin the process of constructing that new future.

Located in The Anderson Valley, a cool climate wine appellation in south western Mendocino County, Thomas T Thomas Vineyards began in 2008 with Thomas planting a 3-acre pinot noir vineyard. Also, in 2008, Thomas built a winery next to the vineyards, with the understanding that one day he would produce and store his own wine there. From 2011 until 2017, Thomas was a grape grower only, then in 2017, Thomas decided to take a small portion of his grape production to create his own wine brand; A decision that was always part of his long-range plans. Starting in 2018, Thomas stopped selling his grapes to third party wineries and now he takes 100% of his production for his own brand. Currently, Thomas makes four different pinot noir wines, where three wines are produced from 100% estate fruit and the fourth wine has a mix of non-estate fruit. Starting with the 2020 vintage, Thomas added a Chardonnay wine offering, which he sources from quality vineyards in Anderson Valley and recently, Thomas has planted a parcel of estate chardonnay.
