About Pug Wine
Pug Wine was founded to create small lots of handcrafted ultra premium, single vineyard wines from Sonoma County's Russian River Valley. We believe there is no reason to make wine from anything other than great fruit from one of the world's premier grape growing regions.

For its inaugural release, Pug Wine has focused on two vineyards - Pug Pinot from Amber Ridge Vineyard and Pug Blanc, a Rhone style blend of marsanne and roussanne, from Saralee's Vineyard. These "cool climate" varietals reflect the unique soils and climate of the Russian River Valley. Each of these wines is handcrafted in very small lots and aged in French oak to produce wine that is well structured and vibrant in character.

Why Pug Wine?
Because pugs, like wine, are one of life's great pleasures.

Why Pug Blanc and Pug Pinot?
Because both the breed and the wines exhibit purebred character unmistakable for any other. Both flourish from hands on attention and can transform any event into a celebration.

Why is Pinot Noir Winning the Hearts of Wine Lovers?
"... there are few wines as reliably food-friendly and delicious. We also find that Pinot is especially fun to linger over, so we'd open it when we got home and sip it through dinner. Good ones always seem like several bottles as they change through the night, and they're great with a wide variety of dishes from salmon to roast chicken to lamb."
- Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, wine critics, Wall Street Journal.

What people are saying about Pug Wine:

Nor-Cal Wine review: "Pug Wine: The only dogs among their wine were on the labels. They poured a nicely nuanced white Rhone blend, but it was the Pinot Noir that really raised our eyebrows. It offered beautiful, delicate red fruit with floral and spice notes. This wine is not at all the bruiser that some Pinots can be these days. Based on Amber Ridge Vineyard fruit (this is becoming one of our favorite phrases), it carried itself lightly and had great acidity. Very enjoyable on its own, it will be great with food that isn’t too heavy or bold."
