Here’s a little about Papapietro Perry:

Like many successful ventures, Papapietro Perry Winery was hatched in a garage. Following the lead of the rebellious garagiste movement in Bordeaux, a handful of friends in San Francisco committed to making their own Pinot Noir to drink — and to have a bunch of fun in the process. Fortunately for them, they had Ben Papapietro as their chosen winemaker.

It was clear from the start the wines from Ben and Yolanda Papapietro’s hillside garage in San Francisco were special. The early wines were even mentioned favorably in the Wine Spectator and other wine publications, just as the craze for quality California Pinot Noir began. As word of mouth grew about the Papapietro Perry Wines, it became clear the next step was to admit that this should be more than a hobby. It was a big step not taken lightly.

To this day, the Papapietro Perry team continues many of those same garagiste traditions. There is always ood food and wine on hand, and the quality of the wine remains a singular focus. And they still stick to a minimalist approach to winemaking. The Papapietro Perry cellar is simply a more elaborate version of Ben’s garage where he started making such compelling wine more than 35 years ago. “Authentic, not pretentious,” says Ben. “Confident, but not too serious. Humble. The winery is an extension of my home and personal hospitality.”
