Please join us Wednesday, January 24th, when we welcome back Ken and Akiko Freeman from Freeman Vineyard & Winery to our wine bar. Ken and Akiko are the dynamic duo behind the acclaimed Freeman Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays we’ve been proud to feature for many years.

When Ken and Akiko met in 1985, they discovered they both had a passion for the graceful and refined Pinot Noir and Chardonnay they always enjoyed from Burgundy and couldn’t always find in California. Their shared dream was to create such wines of their own and become a respected California producer. After touring over 300 vineyard sites up and down the state, they narrowed their focus to the cooler hillside areas of the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast. Here, the fog and coastal breezes challenged the vines and the fruit ripened more slowly, resulting in the more elegant, cool climate style they preferred. Finally, in 2001, their search culminated with the founding of Freeman Vineyard & Winery in one of the coolest parts of Russian River Valley.

The highly talented winemaker, Ed Kurtzman worked with Akiko in the early days, and now Akiko rules the roost as the head winemaker, fulfilling the couple’s dream of crafting world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The high quality of their wines and their engaging and warm personalities have won them fans all over the world, especially here in San Francisco where we look forward to another great Freeman Flight Night!
