Crocker & Starr Winery was founded by Charlie Crocker and Pam Starr in 1997. With only 100 cases of Cabernet Franc for their very first release, Crocker & Starr made a lasting impression among world class sommeliers and world wine aficionados. Today we are a thriving winery comprised of six celebrated estate wines: Cabernet Sauvignon One Post, Cabernet Sauvignon Stone Place, Cabernet Sauvignon RLC, Cabernet Franc, Malbec-Casali blends and Sauvignon Blanc. The Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc have gained us international fame for creating great wines from challenging varieties. Our Appellation wines are the avenue for expansion into the market place, critical for presence in the three-tier system.

 

With goals set for our third decade, Crocker & Starr Winery Team is well on its way to achieving great success as a world vineyard destination. The Team has successfully shifted the focus of sales and marketing to direct to consumer while maintaining national presence. The direct-to-consumer channel is the focus of the team and allows guests to experience the organically farmed estate first hand. The goal is to continue to increase visitor counts and anchor long term customer loyalty through exclusive winery programs.

 

The Company goal is to continue to raise the quality and intensity of the estate wines with respect to the legacy established. We are committed to only the highest quality of care and attention to detail from the soil and vines to the satisfaction of customer. Each member of the Crocker & Starr team shares this vision and is motivated and driven to achieve these goals.
