With the support of his wife, Alison, and their reluctant vineyard dog, Alma, Dan O'Brien makes wines in celebration of his mother. Founded in 2013, GAIL embraces the unpretentious charm of Sonoma Valley—a place she would have considered paradise. GAIL wines are sourced exclusively from organically-farmed vineyards in Sonoma Valley. The approach in the cellar is centered around minimal intervention. Fermentations are spontaneous, and the wines age sur-lie in large puncheons and neutral oak barrels, allowing them to build energy, aromatics, and texture without manipulation. GAIL wines are the namesake, highlighting the vineyards, varietals, and subregions of Sonoma Valley. Production is limited and can vary from vintage to vintage. DORIS, on the other hand, is are table wines in tribute to Dan’s great Auntie Doris. Wines are released seasonally to subscribers of our mailing list. Everything sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
