The Good Stuff – Benovia Winery

In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk to Mike Sullivan, Winemaker and Co-Owner Benovia Winery.

Mike is a fifth-generation Californian who grew up in Sonoma County and started working in Dick Arrowood’s cellar at Chateau St. Jean at the age of 18. While pursuing his enology degree at Fresno State, Mike also spent his summers farming at Four Brothers, his family’s vineyard. Soon thereafter, Mike served as assistant winemaker under the legendary Helen Turley at Landmark Vineyards, and then at Chappellet. Mike garnered numerous honors—including recognition by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate as “Wine Personality of the Year”—as head winemaker at Hartford Family Winery before partnering with Joe and Mary to found Benovia in 2005.

As a winemaker, Mike listens. He listens to the vineyard, to what the grapes are saying, to nature unfolding each year, and to the wine during fermentation. “At Benovia I only have one job: to create wines that capture the essence of this place and this time, and for me, no wine reflects its place and time more than Pinot Noir.”

When he isn’t making wine, Mike serves on the board of Russian River Valley Winegrowers, travels to wine regions that inspire him, and indulges his personal weakness for Burgundy, grower Champagne, and Rieslings from Alsace and Germany.

Benovia Winery

Benovia Winery is a special, small production family-owned winery in the heart of Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley, specializing in balanced, elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that is highly sought-after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Built from a foundation of farming excellence and winemaking experience, Benovia began in 2005 with passion, fueled by discovery, experimentation, precision and creativity. With a portfolio of highly acclaimed and award-winning wines crafted from three estate vineyards planted to 70 acres of vines that have evolved and matured, Benovia now enjoys its place among the lofty ranks of Sonoma’s elite boutique wineries.

And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks!

ROCK’nVINO – Sac Song and Wine Series

During this episode of ROCK’nVINO, hosts Coco and Michelle talk with Randi Moody, the organizer of the Sac Song and Wine Series.

The series, now in its third season, brings Nashville songwriters to perform chart-topping hits and discuss the inspiration behind their music, a concept inspired by a friend of Moody’s and launched in May 2023. These intimate concerts are truly special, and those who attend appreciate the storytelling and engaging experience that is unlike any other concert event. Moody has a background in radio and spent over a decade producing events in Napa. The Sac Song and Wine Series is held at Miners Leap Winery - a "mom and pop winery" with meticulously landscaped grounds and a stage designed for beautiful sunsets. You can choose from GA lawn passes, or VIP tickets, which include a glass of wine and charcuterie. The upcoming September 19th event will feature Sarah Buxton and Jerry Flowers, and the October 10th event will feature Charles Esten and Kelly Archer. The series also benefits local charities.
