Winery Information
Winery Information for: Amici Cellars
Winery Location: United States: California: North Coast: Napa County: Napa Valley
Winery Founded: 1/1/1991
Winery Founded by: John Harris, Bob Shepard, and Celia Shepard
Winery Current Owner: John Harris, Bob Shepard, and Celia Shepard
Winery Description: Amici Cellars was founded in 1991 by John Harris and Bob Shepard. The winery began as a project by a group of friends who wanted to produce small-batch wines in Napa Valley. The name "Amici" is Italian for "friends". The winery's history began when the friends crushed a few tons of grapes and produced a successful wine. The wine received such positive feedback that the friends decided to start producing wine to share with others. Amici Cellars sources grapes from many different American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), including Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Rutherford. The winery focuses on small-batch winemaking, using French oak for both barrel fermentation and maturation.
