Lasseter Family WineryDescription: Lasseter Family Winery strives to make honest, balanced, graceful wines, and to refresh and replenish the resources from which these wines are made.
The Lasseter Family Winery estate property in Sonoma Valley is rich in historical significance, encompassing organically farmed vineyards and an eco-friendly winery. Justi Creek Vineyards, part of the stunning 95-acre ranch on the outskirts of Glen Ellen, is comprised of three adjacent parcels of land, formerly parts of Rancho Vallejo and Rancho Los Guilicos.
“Art” is defined as the realm of what is beautiful, appealing, and of more than ordinary significance. Nancy and John Lasseter believe that making wine is an art form, and that great wine should manifest all that is artful.
Winemaker Julia Iantosca is a true artist. Like a chef using her palate to create a delicious sauce, or like a composer building a symphony out of woodwinds, strings and horns, Julia uses her blending skills, experience and intuition to create wines that are artful and harmonious. She also relies on the palate of Cellarmaster, Bart Hansen, to help fine-tune these compositions.
John and Nancy have long been fans of internationally acclaimed Sonoma Valley artist Dennis Ziemienski, and of his retro, posterly style. They are proud to feature Dennis’ artwork on all of the Lasseter Family Wine labels, with each label telling a story particular to that wine. Through Dennis, the Lasseters have found the ideal way to express their love for wine and for the art of story telling.
Wine tasting, of course, is also an art; and the Lasseters have created a lovely tasting experience, which takes place in the Glen Ellen winery’s dedicated “Wine Room.” Each of the unique blended wines is artfully paired with just the right flavors for tastings, winemaker dinners and special events.
Lasseter Family Winery is open to the public by appointment only.
