Here are the great new wines by Dutton-Goldfield.
It is my pleasure to share an outstanding producer of Sonoma County. For many years now I have admired Dutton-Goldfield wines and have enjoyed many from personal collection for years. They have a seriously good range of wines. Dutton Goldfield dates back to 1998 when colleagues Steve Dutton and Dan Goldfield decided to start a winery together. Steve Dutton is a 5th generation farmer while Dan has a background in chemistry and later completed the illustrious UC Davis program in winemaking. Dan previously worked at Robert Mondavi Winery and even made wine in Portugal for two years before coming back to California and starting Dutton-Goldfield
