Noah River Family Wines is a collection that includes Noah River Wines, Time Place Wine Co., Zin Collective, Spoken West, and Solroom. They are known for producing quality California wines that truly represent the variety and terroir. The wines are made in Napa by Jamey Whetstone, who is passionate about creating beautiful wines that over-deliver on quality.
Jamey moved out to Napa Valley from his home in South Carolina to manage Mustards Grill in 1996. Simply captivated by the community, lifestyle, and culture of wine country, he found himself quickly growing roots. By 1998, he had begun his winemaking education at Turley Wine Cellars where he would remain in his apprenticeship until 2005. During that time, he spent a summer sabbatical working for the Seysses family at Domaine Dujac in Morey-Saint-Denis and laid the groundwork for his personal wine project, Whetstone Wine Cellars, which he founded in 2002.
Tonight, Jamey will walk us through 6 wines from three of their projects where he is winemaker - Noah River, Spoken West, and Time Place.
