Monthly Features

Maysara

Maysara, meaning ‘the wine house’ in Farsi, embodies a holistic philosophy that comes alive in each of their many McMinnvillePinots. Truly a family affair, Moe and Flora’s three daughters have all played an instrumental role in building the winery as winemaker, sales and distribution, and event management, respectively. Get into the Women’s History Month spirit and celebrate with Maysara’s elegant (and Biodynamic) 3 Degrees Pinot Noir.

Lapis Luna

Lapis Luna translates to “stone” and “moon”. Their captivating labels bring to life 400-year-old copperplate engravings that depict the relationship between the earth and the moon. Since 1999, Lapis Luna has fostered long term relationships with established growers throughout the North Coast, California. The wines deliver fresh and vibrant fruit balanced with lively acidity, creating true-to-varietal expressions that are intended to be enjoyed every night of the week!

Visintini

Meet Cinzia & Palmira: twin sisters and Co-Operators (along with their brother, Oliviero) of Visintini Winery. They’ve been experimenting and making food-ready wines from Friulian grapes together since 2002, when they took over the family operation from their father. After years of organic farming they are recently certified, and have begun making their own composts and other preparations as they lean into biodynamics.

Get To Know the Team

Meet our newest Regional Director of Sales for Central Texas, Sierra Lund!

Sierra studied at The Texas Culinary Academy of Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, Texas. Having previously worked as a chef in San Antonio, Austin, and Yountville, it was her time in Napa that drove her to pursue a career in wine. For the last 7 years, Sierra worked with RNDC where she was most recently a District Manager. Outside of work she loves spending time with her husband Dave, and two sons Keller and Odin. Sierra’s current favorite wine in our book is FX Pichler Riesling Burgstall 2019 from Wachau, Austria. As she puts it “There’s nothing I love more than sitting on a patio during spring drinking Riesling. These wines are always so clean, balanced and yet so complex.”

Some of the faces that you know and love in Austin are making moves!

Longtime Assistant Regional Director Greg McDaniel is moving on up (literally) to take on his new role as Regional Director for North Texas! Congrats, Greg!
