In celebration of International Women's Month, winemaker Theodora Lee from Theopolis Vineyards will be joining JuneBaby for an exclusive multi-course brunch with wine pairings on Saturday, March 25th. Doors open at 11:00am, with brunch to start at 11:30 with passed apps and a welcome beverage. This is a rare experience as JuneBaby will open its doors for brunch for the first time for this event where we celebrate women in wine.
Ms. Theodora Lee founded Theopolis Vineyards in 2003. In the wine world, Ms. Lee is known as Theo-patra, Queen of the Vineyards. Her passion for wine began upon her arrival to San Francisco from Texas in 1987, primarily due to the influence of her law firm mentors, many of whom owned vineyards. This led Ms. Lee to take several viticulture classes at UC Davis, before deciding to develop her own vineyard. In 2001, Ms. Lee purchased sheep land in the Yorkville Highlands of Anderson Valley, and began developing her vineyard. This process was quite complex from clearing land, doing soil tests, obtaining permits to remove some trees, drilling an agricultural well, and terracing the property. Finally, in 2003, Ms. Lee planted her 5 acre vineyard. Ms. Lee adopted her Greek name from pledging Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and established Theopolis Vineyards.
Theopolis Vineyards is a small lot vineyard and hand-crafted winery, situated along Highway 128 in southeastern Mendocino County near the border of Sonoma County. There, the AVA is a highly elevated, rugged interior wine-growing area. Established in 2003, Wine Critic Robert Parker bestowed upon wine made from grapes harvested from Theopolis Vineyards a stellar rating of 94-96 points, a spectacular showing for the vintner’s first harvest in 2006. The wines have been award-winning since.
