About the organizers:
Katie Bundschu (Gundlach Bundschu and Abbots Passage), Sam Coturri (Winery 16600), and Morgan Twain-Peterson MW (Bedrock Wine Co)—years after their high school bus rides—have joined forces to create an event celebrating the pioneering spirit of progressive farming in Sonoma Valley. The trio wanted to shine a spotlight on the producers making mindful, future-focused farming decisions. And so, the inaugural S.O.R.B.E.T. was born.

“Sonoma Valley is one of the most historic wine regions in California with viticulture being a main driver of the community going back to the 1850s. On top of this, there is a long history of responsible, organic farming in the valley going back decades” says Morgan Twain-Peterson MW. “We are proud of this tradition and it has been great seeing the appellation become a leader when it comes to organic, biodynamic and regeneratively farmed vineyards.”
