Thomas T Thomas Vineyards is a culmination of a dream that began in 1999, on a wine tasting trip to the Burgundy wine region of France. I began my trip in Dijon traveling south and stopping in each of the of the northern villages to taste their unique expression of Red Burgundies and the great wines of Vosne Romanee, Chambolle-Musigny and Chambertin. After reaching Beaune and continuing to travel south, I experienced the region’s White Burgundies and the great wines of Mersault, Corton Charlamagne, Puligny and Chassange- Montrachet. Surrounded by amazing vistas and vineyards, I became intoxicated with the thought of recreating the atmosphere that I was experiencing and seriously enjoying. The dream was in full bloom by now…the dream of owning a vineyard, winery and making wine.
In 2001, with my dream now my passion, I was able to purchase 36 acres of land in the Anderson Valley, which is located in Mendocino County, California. In 2008, I planted a three-acre parcel to pinot noir and also constructed our winery building. After selling the grapes for seven years, in 2017 I finally established my own brand, taking two tons from the 2017 vintage and bottled the first Thomas T Thomas Vineyards Reserve Pinot Noir. Beginning with the 2018 vintage, I took 100% of my grape production and bottled four unique pinot noirs. In 2020, a Chardonnay bottling was added. The goal has been and will always be to develop the highest quality wines and to farm all my properties using sustainable practices. I look forward to you joining with me on my journey as I discover and develop my own family’s wine traditions.
