Whether you enjoy it on its own or with food, The Specialyst is an out-of-this world experience.Producer DescriptionAt Trinchero Family Estates, our passion for winemaking and delivering the most inspiring flavors from around the globe began almost 70 years ago. In 1947, brothers John and Mario Trinchero traveled to St. Helena, California, near the renowned Napa Valley growing region, and purchased Sutter Home Winery. With its first Sutter Home harvest in 1948, the Trinchero Family crushed three tons of grapes, beginning a long and fruitful history as one of the world's leading producers of fine wines.As the Trinchero family expanded, so too did the company. Mario's son Bob joined the team in 1958, eventually becoming the head winemaker after his uncle John retired. Bob focused on growing his family's efforts, and just 10 years after coming on board, he helped Sutter Home become the first north coast winery to produce commercial wine from Sierra Foothill grapes. He even developed the revolutionary White Zinfandel varietal, which he perfected through innovation, creativity, and a bit of luck in suffering through a "stuck" fermentation in 1975. With the help of his brother Roger, his wife Evalyn, and his sister Vera, Bob was able to capitalize on the growing demand for White Zinfandel and expand Sutter Home even further.In the 1980s and 1990s, the Trinchero family continued its efforts to produce high-quality, affordably priced varietal wines by purchasing several more California vineyards in areas with choice weather and soil conditions. The family has never lost sight of Sutter Home's original philosophy to offer "a great product for a fair price," even as it acquired more vineyards and additional wineries.Today, with Roger Trinchero leading the way, Trinchero Family Estates represents over 40 brands in the United States and imports from around the world, including Sutter Home, Angove Family Wines, Me9nage e0 Trois, Napa Cellars, and Trinchero Napa Valley. Sutter Home is also the proud sponsor of the Build a Better Burger contest, which pits culinary contestants in an annual burger cookoff to win cash prizes and bragging rites. In all, the last 60+ years have been a period of heavy growth and exciting innovation for the Trinchero family, and we look forward to enjoying many more successful years to come.
