TASTING EXPERIENCE AT GRAPEWAGON

ARE YOU READY TO EXPLORE ROCKPILE?
The wine you are about to taste is the culmination of the Rockpile terroir, vineyard site, wine growing program and the winemaker's style and finesse that imparts a distinctive flavor profile and mouthfeel that is unforgettable. Geology and climate has transformed this region over the millennia. The vineyard is situated among native flora and fauna. Nearly 30 years ago, Jack Jr. planted historic vines and has continued to care for them. We fondly refer to him as the Grape Whisperer. This makes our estate grown fruit so very special. Then James MacPhail takes over doing his James winemaking magic. Each vintage is unique depending on what Mother nature has thrown at us. Low-intervention winemaking allows maximal expression of all these factors.

Enjoy and experience WE KNOW JACK!

Mark and Lori

WE KNOW JACK! only uses our own estate grown fruit and our production is extremely limited. The only goal is to produce exceptional wine.
THE WINERY
The winery is owned by the MacPhail family and is called Grapewagon. It is a shared custom crush facility where they make their own Tongue Dancer Wines as well as some for others. Grapewagon is in Dry Creek and a few minutes from the Healdsburg roundabout.
The Tasting Room

NOTE: The Tasting Room is located up a flight of stairs. It sits atop the production room. The room is private and serene and all to ourselves. However, you must be able to navigate both up and down. (It’s 9 stairs up – small landing – 10 more to the top). If you are unable to do this, PLEASE let us know as soon as you can. We will do our best to accommodate you elsewhere on the ground level.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
We are limited to using our small tasting room upstairs most of the time. Here, we can host up to 6 people comfortably. This will be a tight squeeze, so no children or pets allowed.

When we can, we can host you at our zinc Table On Wheels (TOW) for tastings down in the production room of the winery – where we have a little more room. This is dependent upon what’s happening in the winery at any given day. And since this is a working winery, we again ask that no children or pets accompany.

Tastings are Tuesdays – Saturdays with the tasting times as such: 11:00 & 2:00. Expect about 90 minutes for tastings.

All tastings are by reservation and upon request. Request a reservation by filling out the request form at the bottom of this page, or email or call us. As much advance notice is best.

You will taste approximately 5 wines which are available only here. Tasting is currently complimentary. However, we do hope you love our wine and will make a purchase.

Our team is available to assist you with any questions. Please reach out any time via:

Our Vineyard

Our
Releases

WE KNOW JACK! Rockpile Riff Raff is estate grown single vineyard, single block Zinfandel with a pinch of our Petite Sirah; both from our Jack Florence Sr. Vineyard. Big, Bold and Robust, yet elegant and balanced with fresh fruit flavors of blueberries, raspberries and cassis followed by a long smooth finish. In blind tastings, it can be confused for a cabernet, a red blend or a weighty pinot. Cheers!
