Poetic Cellars
Poetic Cellars, a small boutique winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains, is set amidst the rolling, oak-studded hills and the solitude of a country estate. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy fine wine in an unhurried, tranquil atmosphere. Winemaker Katy Lovell is dedicated to creating poetry in the bottle from the finest sources she can farm and find. Her vineyard forays take her from the Santa Cruz Mountains, where she buys Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Merlot, to the far reaches of Mendocino, where she picks beautiful old vine Carignane. The majority of her fruit comes from her vineyards in Livermore, where she established her first winery, Rios-Lovell, nearly two decades ago. On the back label of each bottle is a poem by her partner, Joseph L. Naegele, celebrating the magical union of two creative souls who live to share their passion with wine and poetry lovers everywhere. These two are a perfect union of passion and purpose. Come discover the romance of Poetic Cellars: well-versed wines for the romantic at heart.

Pleasant Valley Vineyards
Pleasant Valley Vineyards was established by Craig and Cathy Handley in 1996. Nestled in its own private enclave, our family estate vines surround a cathedral grove of coastal redwoods. There are two petite vineyards of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay planted in select French Dijon clones. The property encompasses a five-acre bowl on the western ridge within Pleasant Valley in Aptos, California, a part of the Santa Cruz Mountains Appellation. Only a short distance from the Monterey Bay, Pleasant Valley possesses its own unique microclimate of warm days and tempered nights that allows the vines to gradually produce and mature fruit with intense varietal characteristics and complexity. Each vine, and the grape clusters produced, are selectively nurtured, gently hand pruned, hedged, leafed and harvested. Our limited release wines are meticulously handcrafted exclusively from our estate-grown fruit and bottled on-site. We also offer other wine varietals from select regions the Santa Cruz Mountains, Amador County, Sonoma Coast and Paso Robles. The grapes that make these non-estate wines are carefully selected for their complex characteristics.
