Sonoma, California
A husband and wife project turned business, Catch & Release is an exercise in creativity, a test of patience and a lot of fun. Beno and Monica make wine they like to drink, in partnership with growers who lead from the front (of regenerative farming.) They champion simplicity, prioritize delicacy, and crave acidity at every turn. Winemaking is with minimal intervention, no fining, filtering, and minimal sulfur.
