About Carpe Diem Wine
Carpe Diem Wine is named for the Horatian injunction, carpe diem, seize the day, applied to wine as a declaration that the best time to open a bottle is now. In a wine culture that sometimes fetishizes aging and delay, Carpe Diem's philosophy is the counter-argument: wine is made to be drunk, to accompany food and conversation and the specific day you're living, not to sit in a cellar accruing value.
The Napa Valley-based project produces Russian River Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Sonoma County vineyard sources selected for their immediate drinkability alongside sufficient structure to reward a few years of patience for those who prefer to wait. The philosophy is balanced: seize the day, but make wines worth seizing.
The appointment-only format at the Napa tasting room offers a focused experience of what Carpe Diem means in practice: good wine, right now, with someone who cares about what you're drinking.
