About KORi Wines
KORi Wines is a father daughter partnership between Santa Lucia Highlands grower Kirk Williams, who planted his first vines in 1998, and his step daughter Kori Violini. The two released their first Pinot Noir from the KW Ranch Vineyard in 2007, with Sabrine Rodems on board as consulting winemaker since 2010.
A Carmel-by-the-Sea tasting room opened in early 2019 at Mission Street and 7th Avenue, pouring flights that rotate through Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, Rose, Sauvignon Blanc, sparkling Blanc de Blancs and Cabernet Sauvignon depending on the season. The room is open daily from noon to seven.
A grower's first vines in 1998, a family label built one Pinot Noir at a time.
