What makes Wildcrafted Wines special is thirty years of creating, nurturing and celebrating relationships with winemakers in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Oregon and more. These are the people that allow us to put bottles on your dinner table and be a part of special moments when you gift our wines. Each of these winemakers is extremely skilled at their craft and cares immensely for the environment. We like to introduce you to some of our winemakers, so you can get to know them as we have over all these years:

Nori Nakamura

Nori, a native of Japan, discovered his love of wine on a trip to Italy, where a Barbaresco changed his life. Earning his Japan Sommelier Certificate, he headed to San Francisco working for Nikko hotels. His passion tugged though and led him to winemaking positions at Artesa, Pine Ridge, Silenus and Larsen Family. Noria is his own project dedicated to wine crafted in the tradition of sake - elegant and refined to pair with delicate cuisine.
