2024 Vive Le Jazz Sonoma County Chardonnay
CORK DORK WINE NOTES by Eric
For our club members, this is one of the most anticipated moments of the year—the annual release of our Pinot Noir! And this year we selected central CA.
In the legendary Sonoma County, cradled between the cool Pacific Ocean and the warmer Napa Valley, this region brings together sun-drenched days and brisk marine evenings—conditions that allow Chardonnay to thrive slowly and gracefully. The result is a wine of poise and elegance, where vibrant fruit, and natural acidity find their perfect harmony.
Our 2024 Vive La Jazz wine reveals elegant layers of Meyer lemon, white peach, and subtle oak, all wrapped in beautiful texture and finesse. It’s graceful, yet expressive—like a great contemporary jazz solo that builds with intention and soul. With Mindi’s saxophone as the muse and our daughter Jordyn’s artwork on the label, this wine is a tribute to artistry in all its forms—bottled at the intersection of family, passion, and creativity; where fine wine meets the rhythm of music, art... and life.

LABEL ARTWORK & DESIGN
by Jordyn Guerra
Original artwork created by our daughter, artist Jordyn Guerra… seen here as her avatar. :)
We believe wine can be a very visual experience. The wine label offers a canvas to showcase an artist’s creativity, thoughts and ideas with visually captivating designs.
This is one of those very special instances where the wine needed to rise up to the level of beauty and excellence of the label design itself.
MUSIC PAIRING & PLAYLIST by Mindi
This label’s concept and artwork are very special to me for so many reasons. Those being the saxophone, jazz and family.
The artist, may step-daughter Jordyn Guerra truly captured the essence of what I know to be the saxophone in this original digital painting. The strength of the black paint strokes depicts the power and raw dominance a sax can emit, yet the simplicity and ease of the sketched lines speaks to how just one note can reach the heart and the soul all in one striking moment.
When I taste Chardonnay, especially one at this level of elegance, it is layered and interesting, and I find myself wanting to drink more. So, I believe the pairing of this wine and Smooth Jazz is pure perfection. On one side Jazz is pure, uplifting and inspiring, yet on the other can be complex and intricate, just like the style of this wine.
Finally, whenever Jordyn can have an artistic platform to shine, and shine brightly as she has done here, my heart fills with love and joy. I love her design as it depicts my instrument of choice and huge part of my life in one amazing sketch. And the joy I feel for her pure talent and accomplishment is what life’s moments are made of.
