J Vineyards & Winery

Producer Website
At 25 years of age, Judy Jordan knew she wanted to create an all-American sparkling wine company and handcraft some of the finest, if not the finest, sparkling wine in California. Her journey took her to Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley where she and her team masterfully crafted an elegant sparkling wine collection that was met with a passionately loyal following.

Judy was inspired by Mother Nature's bounty of microclimates laced throughout J's 9 Russian River estate vineyards, and recognized the ability to also craft remarkable varietal wines. When people told her it was "impossible" for a sparkling wine house to make great varietal wine, it further fueled her competitive nature to bring the ultimate wine experience to life.

With a commitment to innovation and a passion for wine, today we are proud to produce award-winning sparkling wines as well as highly lauded varietal still wines.

J Vineyards & Winery has built a 26-year legacy of making wines to inspire, and we;ve really only just begun.

We welcome guests everyday 11AM-5PM: 11447 Old Redwood Highway Healdsburg, CA in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley.

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay Grape

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
