The Progress

The Progress will be hosting the team from Jolie Laide Wines, offering their creative wines alongside our à la carte menu. Participation is not required. Jolie-Laide is a small, avant-garde winery in Sonoma County, California, founded by Scott and Jenny in 2010. Their name, meaning "Pretty-Ugly" in French, reflects their philosophy of unconventional beauty. Known as pioneers of the "New California" movement, they emphasize natural winemaking with low intervention, whole-cluster fermentation, and early harvests to preserve acidity and freshness. They work with sustainably farmed vineyards and unique, lesser-known grape varieties. The winery also features changing, artistic labels each year, celebrating the artistry behind their wines.

The Progress will be hosting the team from Robert Sinskey Vineyards, offering their exceptional wines alongside our à la carte menu. Participation is not required. RSVnapa is a second-generation, family-owned vineyard and winery, committed to organic farming and sustainable practices since 1991. They follow Rudolph Steiner's “whole farm” philosophy, prioritizing soil health to create vibrant, balanced wines. With 200+ acres of vineyard and natural habitats, they foster biodiversity and sustainability. Winemaker Jeff Virnig crafts wines that emphasize elegance and finesse, avoiding score-driven reviews. The farm also integrates sheep, enriching soil and providing wool, completing the cycle of life in a closed-loop, eco-friendly system.
