Pioneering the future of old-school California
Ryan Stirm is devoted to Riesling. As is evidenced if you click the “about” link on the Stirm website, the drop down menu has just three options: “Philosophy”, “Background”, and “Why Riesling”. AND, he has branched out with age, as we often do. His portfolio has diversified, and now we have a line up of (very) delicious, site driven, well packaged, and appropriately priced wines from California. Pinot Noir, check. A “classic” blend of Chardonnay and Riesling? Check! He also makes the label Los Chuchaquis with Jehan Hakimian, which brings us sparkling Albariño, sparkling Sangiovese, etc. Minimal intervention and maximum awesome.
