Description
In the 70s – at a time when virtually all California winemakers were men – Merry Edwards had the cojones to break ground and become one of the region’s first female winemakers. She began her career at Mount Eden Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains in 1974 and went on to become the founding winemaker at Matanzas Creek in 1977 where she remained until 1984. In 1997, family and friends joined Merry to found Merry Edwards Winery, with a focus on producing Pinot Noirs with a sense of place from Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast. Since then, she has developed a reputation for being one of the best Pinot producers in California (and her Sauvignon Blanc is getting just as popular) and has even been dubbed “the Queen of Pinot.” Join Enoteca La Storia and taste through a selection of her famous Pinots and her highly sought-after Sauvignon Blancs.
