A Pinot Noir, a Rhône-Style Red, and Two Chardonnays

Debra Mathy is the owner of Dutcher Crossing Winery, a Dry Creek Valley estate that she purchased in 2007. A trip to France during high school, one that involved visits to a number of wineries, put an idea in her head: I want to one day make wine, and own a winery, she remembers telling her parents.

After a career in education, she made her dream come true. She purchased Dutcher Crossing and has been at the helm of the estate ever since. One of her wines is in this week’s Tasting Notes, which you can read here. You’ll also find bottles from Lynmar Estate and Refugio Ranch.
