Winemaking

Winemaking is a passion for Tom Doczy. He has been making wine for over 35 years, first as a hobby and now in his own winery. Moving to Livermore full-filled his dream to someday produce quality wine under his own label. The winery name is derived from his 2 son's middle names, John and Christopher.  The first wine produced for commercial sale was our 2001 Zinfandel and our 2001 Petite Sirah. Both quickly sold out.  We produce wine from fruit that is selected from only the highest quality vineyards with exceptional vineyard management. Working with the growers, Tom has been able to craft wines with uncompromising flavor and character.  Most of his current focus is on red wine, though Chardonnay is also one of his favorites. Both Chard's are from Livermore Valley grapes and are a favorite among Chardonnay lovers who value lively fruit and a rich buttery finish.
