Weather Wines — a producer within the John Anthony Wine & Spirits portfolio focused on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from cool-climate regions of Sonoma — has announced several developments for spring 2026. The brand will serve its fifth year as the presenting sponsor of the V Foundation’s Sonoma Epicurean fundraiser. It will also debut two single-vineyard wines from the Carneros Gap estate, as well as expand community engagement through tasting events, new corporate gifting, and wine club programs.
Weather Wines's 2026 Carneros Gap releases include a 2024 Chardonnay and a forthcoming 2023 Pinot Noir. The grapes for both of these expressions are sourced from the founder’s home property in the Carneros American Viticultural Area, which spans parts of Sonoma and Napa counties and is known for its bay-influenced growing conditions.
Weather Wines has scheduled the Sonoma Epicurean event for late March, and all proceeds from this event will be directed to cancer research.
