Winery
Paradigm
Paradigm Winery is owned and managed by Ren and Marilyn Harris, two winegrowers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley. Marilyn’s grandparents emigrated from Italy to Napa Valley in 1890, while Ren’s family came to California in 1769. Marilyn and Ren purchased Paradigm Vineyards in 1976, and began producing wine with the 1991 vintage. Since that first vintage, the wines have been made by renowned winemaker, Heidi Peterson Barrett. Heidi’s father, Dick Peterson, was instrumental in laying-out and designing the winery.
Paradigm Winery, located in the Oakville appellation of Napa Valley, hand-crafts small quantities of estate-bottled red wine. They are known for their Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, though they also produce a tiny amount of Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and Rosé. Regardless of the varietal, the wines are a rich expression of the vineyard they have been farming now for twenty-nine years.
Winery
Senses Wines
Senses Wines is the dream of three childhood friends. Chris, Max and Myles partnered with critically acclaimed winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown, to produce world-class wines from renowned vineyards owned by their families. Since founding in 2011, Senses production has grown to include many coveted vineyard sites throughout northern California.
The Senses estate vineyards are in the West Sonoma Coast region of Sonoma County, specifically in the small town of Occidental where the three founders grew up.
Chris Strieter, one of the wineries 3 co-founders, will be joining us at this years Triangle Wine & Food Experience.
