Introducing Bedrock Wine Co. to the National family
We are excited to be distributing Bedrock Wine Co.
Bedrock Wine Co. was started in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson. Working out of a small converted chicken coop in a friend’s backyard, Morgan focused on making personality-filled wines wrought from a small array of thoughtfully farmed vineyards. Over time the chicken coop and its outdoor fermenters and tiny basket press gave way to production at another friend’s winery and eventually to the “elegant” tin-sided warehouse that is now called home. In addition, after six years of working alone the winery welcomed Chris Cottrell as a partner-in-crime along with a small, dedicated staff of highly decent human beings.

William “Tecumseh” Sherman and Gen. “Fightin’ Joe” Hooker, Bedrock Vineyard has grown grapes for over 150 years. A field blend of 27 varieties, this vintage is “roughly 55% Zinfandel, 15% Carignan, 10% Mataro…Syrah, Alicante, Trousseau Noir, Mission…you get the point. Drink 2019-2030+.” – MTP MW
