About Bedrock Wine Company | Dream Big!

Bedrock Wine Company was founded in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson in a 550 square-foot, former chicken coop.   After six years of Bedrock being a one-man-show, Morgan got his best friend, Chris Cottrell to join him. They now happily have a little more space to move around in. Yet they share the same objectives that guided the winery at the start.

The winery’s objectives are: To channel the fruit of ancient vines into powerful, elegant, and distinctly Californian wines. In addition, spread the gospel of Syrah in California by sourcing fruit from great terroirs throughout the North Coast.  Proclaim the greatness of Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon by sparing no expense on wines of uniqueness and personality.  Reclaim rose’ from the excesses of saignee and focus on precision, delicacy, aromatics, and food friendliness.

Dream big but keep production low!
