Shooting Star

Ambitious with Modern Sensibilities

First produced in 1991, Shooting Star wines are true to terroir and a great value. These offerings are more reminiscent of specific appellations and uncommon varietals, and are fermented in stainless steel or aged in oak for a shorter period of time to be enjoyed while young.

In addition to great wine and grass fed lamb, did

In addition to great wine and grass fed lamb, did you know we also make incredible olive oil?

Hand harvested, sustainably grown, and fresh milled locally from 1,000 olive trees on our home ranch, this “liquid gold” extra virgin oil is a staple in our kitchen pantry.

Available in limited quantity at our Mercantile tasting room, it’s perfect for dipping, drizzling, and gifting this holiday season and beyond!

The delicate meat of turkey at Thanksgiving calls

The delicate meat of turkey at Thanksgiving calls for wines that complement, but don’t overpower.

When you raise a glass to go with your roast bird this holiday, we recommend our certified organic Clay Shannon Sauvignon Blanc and our Mother Vine Rosé as the perfect pairing choices to have on the table.

Elegant Clay Shannon Sauvignon Blanc (named for our founder) scored 91 points from Wine Enthusiast for its crisp finish and aromas of white peach, lime rind and fresh herbs. The equally worthy Mother Vine Rosé boasts floral notes of white flowers, rhubarb, guava, and raspberries.

Both wines have a clean, crisp finish that provides the perfect balance to turkey. Can’t decide? Serve both and you can’t go wrong! Available for pick up at The Mercantile, 4350 Thomas Drive, Lakeport, or order at our website for direct shipping ($10 flat-rate for Members & $15 flat-rate for Non Members!).

Many thanks to Haute Living San Francisco magazine

Many thanks to Haute Living San Francisco magazine for spotlighting our lovely 2023 Mother Vine Rosé in their “Cheers to the Season” pick of holiday wines to gift and serve.

“This elegant Cinsault-based wine has a great story. Pioneers brought “The Mother” vine of Cinsault from Croatia in 1870, and it survived for 150 years before getting its own bottling. Cold fermentation brings white flowers, rhubarb, guava, and raspberry notes to the fore, and the gorgeous bottle presentation makes this a lovely host gift.”

We think it also pairs beautifully with roast turkey! Available for your holiday gathering at The Mercantile (4350 Thomas Dr., Lakeport) or order online and ship direct (link in our Bio)
