Founder and President, Judy Jordan, holds a degree in Earth Sciences/Geology from Stanford University and knows something about rocks and soil. Her passion for the land and understanding of what goes into making world-class wines has no boundaries. Accompanying Judy on this exploration of wine excellence are veteran Winemaker, George Bursick, and Viticulturist, John Erbe. Both have become knowledgeable experts on all aspects of our Russian River Valley terrain, and their dedication shines through in all J wines.
As one of the largest estate vineyards in the Russian River Valley, J Vineyards & Winery has embarked on a journey of exploration of our terroir that while already 25 years in the making has really only just begun. In geologic terms, we are still in the embryonic stage. The wide variety of alluvial soils found in our 254-acres ofRussian River Valley estate vineyards have been forming for millions of years and are continually revealing new nuances to us.
Today we continue to build on Judy's 25 year legacy of excellence to bring you both award-winning sparkling wines as well as higly-lauded varietal wines. We encourage you to explore all our wines and benefit from our team's dedication to the unique Russian River terroir.
