For 20 years now, brothers Steve and Bruce Cousins have been producing some of the best wines in Sonoma County. We hand-craft vineyard designated wines from many of the top vineyards including Maple Vineyards Zinfandel and Maple Vineyards Tina's Block (perhaps Dry Creek's most coveted Zin Block), Durell Vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Parmelee-Hill Pinot Noir and Zinfandel, Castelli Knight Ranch Pinot Noir, Gold Mine Ranch Zinfandel, and Bacigalupi Vineyard Pinot Noir. We also are very excited with our addition of Gap's Crown Vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to our portfolio which will be released next year. From our seven-acre estate vineyard we produce Il Campo ("Field Blend"), a delicious combination of Zinfandel and Petite Syrah. While we make seriously great wine , we are not afraid to have a good time. That's why we produce PoiZin "The Wine to Die for" (Zinfandel) and the ANTIDOTE (Pinot Gris). Our Wine Club and Industry Wide Events are festive and like no others. Please come and try our incomparable wines while enjoying the enormous view of the Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys. If so inclined, bring a lunch to enjoy on the large patio and a game of bocce ball . Come experience a welcoming and informal atmosphere in a beautiful location, with friendly, down-to- earth people and excellent wines. "Come Taste our World".

The Cava Wine Bar is such a cozy and fun environment. The wine list is extensive but the owners break it down to make it simple and appeal to a wide range of tastes and price points. Live music on the weekends makes it extra special. I recently took family from out of town to Cava and John Michael was singing that day. It was one of the highlights of their trip to California. The patrons and owners are super friendly but not intrusive. I feel very lucky to have this establishment in my neighborhood.

I love to walk and hike and share our local history and the beauty of this area with guests. When not touring internationally, I am a local guide in California, specializing in San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Monterey/Carmel and Yosemite. I went to school at University of California, Santa Cruz and have lived in Santa Cruz County for over 30 years.
