Jennifer Gray Wine
Small-lot, minimal-intervention wines from a former psychology professor, with appointment-only tastings in the working cellar
Best known for: Small-lot, minimal-intervention wines made by hand
Jennifer Gray Wine is a small-lot project run by Jennifer Gray, a former social psychology professor who handles the hands-on work of winemaking, from checking fermentations to pulling barrel samples. Gray holds a WSET Diploma, a wine qualification combining theory and tasting, and brings a researcher's curiosity to the cellar. Her focus is balance, texture, and wines that belong at the dinner table, with minimal intervention rather than a rigid winemaking formula. The bee on the label has a practical backstory: bees gravitate toward sweet grape juice during harvest, and Gray counts repeated stings among the less glamorous parts of the job.
There is no public tasting room at Jennifer Gray Wine. Instead, tastings take place by appointment in the working cellar, where the emphasis is on conversation, questions, and how the wines come together—not a polished hospitality setup. Availability is limited, and harvest or cellar work can shift the schedule. Visitors request a tasting in advance through the contact page, providing a preferred date, group size, and any particular interests. Closed-toe shoes suit the production-space setting.
