750 Wines: A Family Endeavor for the Best Quality Wine

The winery is the effort of Steve Matthiasson, his wife Jill Klein, and their two sons. With a passion for wine-making and a commitment to excellence, 750 Wines has become one of the most sought-after wineries in California.
The History of 750 Wines
Steve Matthiasson started his career as a viticulturist, working with some of the best vineyards in Napa Valley. He soon realized that he wanted to make his own wine and started experimenting with different grape varieties and techniques. In 2003, he founded 750 Wines with his wife Jill Klein.
The name "750" refers to the standard size of a wine bottle - 750 milliliters. It also represents their commitment to making wines that are approachable yet complex, elegant yet powerful.
The Philosophy of 750 Wines
At 750 Wines, quality is everything. They believe that great wines start in the vineyard - by selecting only the best sites and grapes, they can create wines that are true expressions of their terroir.
Their production process is simple but careful - they use traditional techniques like hand-harvesting and foot-stomping to ensure that every grape is treated with care. They also use minimal intervention during fermentation and aging to let the natural flavors shine through.
The result is wines that are balanced, nuanced, and delicious - whether you're drinking their Sauvignon Blanc or Cabernet Sauvignon.
