Just a small, family business doing things the old-fashioned way! President Kim Stare Wallace doesn’t usually deliver the wine … but when she heard a customer had run out of our Fumé Blanc, she sprung into action. #winery #smallbusiness #familybusiness #healdsburg #drycreekvalley #drycreekvineyard #sonomacounty
Did someone say Chenin Blanc and oysters? Count us in! There's nothing more quintessentially summer than sipping bright, refreshing Dry Chenin Blanc while slurping freshly shucked oysters on a sunny day. To find our Dry Chenin Blanc at restaurants and retailers near you, see the link in our bio. And a special thanks to @watchmesip for the fantastic video! #drycreekvineyard #chenin #oysters #cheninblanc #summer #drycreekvalley #winewinewine #winelover #oystersandwine #summerflavor #cheers
Kim here!! 👋🏻 My favorite thing about being the Second-Generation is getting to see my amazing Father when he stops by DCV! We share so many passions including speaking French. I'm heading to his house for dinner later- we cherish these special moments. 🍷
#MondayMotivation is knowing we have another live concert on our lawn just around the corner!

We hope to see you 💃 #motowngetdown #summervibes #livemusic #winelovers #savethedate #drycreekvineyard #healdsburg #sonoma #familywinery #sonomacounty
