Winemaker Wednesday: Two Shepherds

We're pouring a suprise flight of Rhone styled wines from Winemaker William Allen. This new producer is creating quite a buzz in California, and beyond.

Join us on Sept. 26th, from 6-8pm, Downtown Napa, and prepare to be surprised!

Two Shepherds is the genesis of founder William Allen, publisher of the widely read wine blog Simple Hedonisms and long-time garagiste wine maker, who decided to put his money where his keyboard was by planting a vineyard and starting a micro-winery. After years of extolling his love of Rhone wines, and winemaking practices of balance and elegance, as well as enthusiastically encouraging consumers to branch out and extend their palates, William decided to expand upon his years of garage wine making and hands-on harvest experience to make commercially available the style of wines he was championing. Thus Two Shepherds was born – making wines that “shepherd” grapes gently into non-manipulated and balanced old world style wines, while also guiding consumers back to wines of authenticity, and to the wonderfully diverse realm of Rhone wines.
