Monica Varriale: Catch and Release Wines

Patwin land – Napa, California

https://catchandreleasewines.com, @catchandreleasewines

Catch & Release Wines is a Napa based project centered around human connection. Our wines aim to bring joy and fuel celebration. There is no preconceived notion as to what the wine should be year over year - the wines are the product of circumstance and a little bit of planning. We work exclusively with organically or biodynamically farmed fruit, minimal intervention in the cellar and the only additive is sulfur, as needed. The idea is that an unadulterated product will encourage unadulterated connection.

Social Justice and Environmental Restoration Statement
We work with exclusively with organic or biodynamic farmers. We offset our shipping carbon emissions via a partnership with Pachma, and also are 1% for the planet. Through this last partnership we are able to select organizations to donate to, in our area, that are focused on environmental and social change.
