Our Journey

A Tribute To Sonoma

Growing up in Sonoma, we spent a lot of time exploring the local countryside: finding our way through neighboring vineyards owned by old friends and family. I remember the excitement of discovery and freedom while I thoroughly studied our small town and its outskirts. I remember old dusty roads that led to forgotten vineyards and properties… Gehricke is a tribute to one such road.

– August Sebastiani, Proprietor

"A great wine is going to tell you the story of where the grapes came from, of the hillside, of the soil, of the growing season. A great winemaker is going to be able to use the wine as the expression of that story... that's what it really all boils down to, is storytelling."
August Sebastiani
