About J Wines

In 1986, Judy Jordan founded J Vineyards & Winery in order to craft the varietal and sparkling wines that have since become the essence of Russian River Valley expression. This viticultural area runs west through Sonoma County, following the river as it winds around rolling hills and through rich benchlands before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. The region's unique topography creates a rich diversity of soils, and the cool coastal climate prolongs the growing season, making it one of only a few places on earth ideal for producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Other varietals thrive here, too. George Bursick, our winemaker, uses a combination of traditional and innovative winemaking techniques to craft Pinot Gris, Viognier and Vin Gris in true Russian River Valley style.

In addition to varietal wines, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have served as the base of J's critically-acclaimed sparkling wines for 20 years now. Winemaker Hollis Price is dedicated to creating sparkling wines in the traditional method of Champagne, or mêthode champenoise. This labor-intensive philosophy results in sparkling wines of incredible depth, complexity and dazzling effervescence.
