Little Trouble Wine Co.

Jen and Sara first met back in 2016 while working for a Sonoma Coast winemaker and grower. Jen was the assistant winemaker, Sara the sales director. After getting to know each other over bottles shared at Casino Bar and Grill in Bodega, they quickly realized our mutual love of bright, fresh wines, low intervention vineyard practices, fluffy dogs and eventually each other. Jen’s family took in Sara, an east coast transplant, and many a holiday was shared together. While joking for years about starting a label together, dreams became reality in 2020 when Jen discovered Stampede Vineyard in Lodi.

Their goal is to make wines that highlight the fantastic vineyards they are privileged to work with. They won’t call themselves “natural”, but source solely organic fruit and do as little as possible to intervene in the winery. You can call that what you like. At the end of the day they are two best pals who are thrilled to share their labor of love and sweat and roadside sandwiches with you.
