Perry Creek Winery

Perry Creek Winery’s consistent 90+ point ratings in Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast are due in no small part to the efforts of owner Dieter Juergens and vintners Garrett Buckland and Scott Johnson. Drawing on cultivating experience in Napa, Austria, and the Sierra Foothills, the winemakers have carefully engineered 40 acres of ideal soil that brims with hand-pruned grape vines. The trio’s many varietals embody their distinct heritage, with different wine lineages such as the Altitude 2401 Reserve Series, the strong wines of the Cobra selection, and the estate wines that harness the diversity of the land’s grapes. An online store features the winery’s choicest merchandise, from current varietals to futures and wearable hats and shirts made entirely of old corks.
