Host Clark Wolf talks with Brian Sullivan & Gayle Okaumura Sullivan, owners of Dry Creek Peach, about farming peaches, interdependence, finding homes for the fruit, effects of the pandemic, the farm stand and Measure J.

Dry Creek Peach is located in the heart of the Dry Creek Valley of Healdsburg in Sonoma County, California. Surrounded by world-renown vineyards, we are the last remaining fruit farm (1,000 trees) in the valley and the only dedicated, certified organic peach farm in the county. The farm takes advantage of the mineral-rich soil fed by Dry Creek and Winter Creek and the ideal Mediterranean growing climate of Northern California wine country.

Owners since 2000, Brian Sullivan and Gayle Okumura Sullivan dedicated the farm to organic stone fruit; broadened the product line to include peach jam, cobbler mix, and other products; introduced Dry Creek Peaches to customers and partners including Chez Panisse, Kokkari, Canyon Market and Bryan’s; and re-opened the farm stand in the summer.

Dry Creek Peach has been featured in House & Garden, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Edible Marin & Wine Country, Savor Wine Country, Made Local, the Press Democrat, the Healdsburg Tribune, Healdsburg Living, and many other publications.

The Good Stuff – Region

In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Kerry Thedort & Johan Eide, Co-Founders of Region. & Sampl.

Region is a unique and innovative wine bar concept located in both Sebastopol & San Luis Obispo. Founded by Kerry & Johan in 2020 in the heart of the Barlow Sebastopol, Region. was the first of its kind in Sonoma County. The second location opened in 2022 at the Hotel San Luis Obispo, a property owned by the Piazza Hospitality Group, which owns properties in Sonoma County as well. Region. uniquely offers a self-serve model with state-of-the-art WineStation machines, which pour over 50 hand-selected small production wines from 35+ Sonoma County wine producers. Each week, they host a winery takeover event, where one of their partnering wineries offers a special flight, winemaker appearances & curated food pairings. In addition to its focus on supporting small production wineries, Region. is committed to sustainability, donating 1% of its sales to the environmental organization 1% for the Planet.

Sampl., founded in 2022 by Kerry & Johan, is a subscription-based wine tasting club emerged from their success with Region. Every quarter, Sampl takes you to a different winemaking region, delivering seven 100ml glasses of curated wines from the best local producers in eco-friendly, reusable packaging directly to your home. This model allows consumers to explore a variety of wines without committing to a full bottle, enabling smaller wineries to thrive in the by-the-glass market.

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