Calerrain Wines was inspired by our love of exploring California wine country. As a young married couple just starting out, we would always fit a six-pack of wine from the local grocery store into our weekly shopping cart. Our weekly wine habit fueled our interest and desire to visit the wineries and vineyards we were tasting on the labels. We found ourselves discovering vineyards located throughout the beautiful California landscape; from the cold, wet Mendocino Coast to the hot, rocky terrain of the Temecula Valley and everywhere in between. With each new discovery, our interest grew in understanding how the differing terrain of California could influence the story of a wine.
