About La Follette Wines
La Follette Wines represents the work of one of California's most technically accomplished winemakers. Greg La Follette built his reputation over two decades at Flowers Vineyard, Hartford Family, and Tandem Winery, developing a reputation for extracting extraordinary precision and complexity from Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay before founding his own label in 2008.
The La Follette approach is rooted in cool-climate viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar, native yeast fermentation, low sulfur, and the patience to let the vineyard express itself without the winemaker imposing a style. The single-vineyard wines from sites including Manchester Ridge, Sangiacomo, and other prestigious coastal sources are consistently among the most elegant and food-compatible California Pinots produced.
The tasting room at The Barlow, Sebastopol's acclaimed artisan complex featuring local food, wine, beer, and craft producers, provides an accessible and atmospheric setting for discovering La Follette's portfolio. Expedia travel guides specifically list La Follette Wines as a worthwhile attraction in the Sebastopol area.
At its Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County location, La Follette Wines presents a featured lineup that includes Manchester Ridge Pinot Noir, Sangiacomo Pinot Noir, Sangiacomo Chardonnay, and Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.
