Dinner with the Winemaker

An intimate evening of exploration and discovery with

Special Guest – Lorenzo Muslia,  Partner/Winemaker

The soils in the Sierra Foothills are special. The microclimates and varying elevations hide unique opportunities; capable of growing a vast selection of varietals, including grapes traditionally considered obscure to California.  In 2009, Janis and her husband, Andy Friedlander, found this stretch of land and they embarked on a journey to build a state of the art winemaking facility with two tenets; design a sustainable winery to produce world class wines that is attractive, but different from all others.

After joining Andis in 2014, Lorenzo began working with renowned wine consultant Philippe Melka, to ensure the quality of wines met his standards and liking.

All are a driving force behind Janis’ vision –  to handcraft world class wines that celebrate the pure expression of its soil.
