ONEHOPE wine collection
ONEHOPE Wines help make a difference in the world by raising awareness and money for worthy causes, but they're also easy on the nose and palate. These are high quality, award-winning wines that measure up in every way to the integrity of our partner charities, and are suitable for every day drinking and special occasions. These well-balanced wines are available in Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay and are produced at our Sonoma, California winery in the heart of the iconic Russian River Valley.
Raising money for charity is a noble endeavor, but we won't do it at the expense of the environment. That's why our winery is a member in good standing of the Sonoma County Green Business program and the Wine Institute's Sustainable Winegrowing Program. So not only can you feel good about the charity you're supporting with each bottle, but you can rest assure that great care was taken to produce that bottle in a way that doesn't diminish our fragile environment. The next time someone invites you over for dinner or to a party, bring along a bottle of ONEHOPE Wine, and share a worthy cause and some good karma in the process.

Our Wine Maker
David Elliott, Winemaker, Graton, Custom Label
David Elliott has had a storied career as a wine maker. His penchant for travel and experiencing different cultures led him literally to Napa Valley's Veedercrest vineyard in 1975 where he worked his first crush. He was hooked. Soon he was working crushes in Burgundy for importer Becky Wasserman. In fact, over the next eighteen years Elliott rarely, if ever, saw a spring season. He went from hemisphere to hemisphere working grape harvests every autumn. His list of wineries and associations reads like a who's who of wine: Carneros Creek, Navarro Vineyards, Clos du Bois (California), Matua Valley Wines (New Zealand), Petaluma Wines and Rothbury Estate (Australia),Chateau Senegac and Chateau Brandeau (Bordeaux). Elliott has worked with master winemakers from the world's great wine producing regions including the likes of Frances Mahoney, Brian Crose and Margaret Davenport.
Before joining Sonoma Wine Company in early 2005, Elliott held the title of Winemaker at Lancaster Estate for 8 years and was in charge of both winemaking and production. If you're not familiar with Lancaster, it is the flagship winery of Ted Simpkins, head of the Southern Wine & Spirits California distributorship - producers of award-winning luxury Cabernet from estate vineyards in Sonoma's Alexander Valley. Needless to say, we're fortunate and delighted to have Elliott on board.
