Foolhardy Vintners is the partnership of Jonathan Edelman and Dan Sogg, two friends with a shared passion for wine. Our friendship started freshman year of college and our love of wine took root growing up, around the dinner table. We started Foolhardy to make the kind of wines we both enjoy: ripe and vibrant, balancing freshness and fruit purity. Wines we like to share with friends. We believe that the keys to quality are simplicity and attention to detail. It starts with outstanding vineyards that consistently yield our wines with ripe, juicy flavors.
We chose Washington State because of the unlimited potential in the vineyards and the tremendous dynamism of the local wine culture. Making good wine is a long, painstaking process that demands a leap of faith and we feel our years of hard work and attention to detail will reward those who try Foolhardy. We hope you find as much pleasure drinking our wines with your friends and family as we enjoy making them.

Gamble Ranch Chardonnay
These grapes come from several blocks in this Yountville vineyard where there are lots of different clones planted. My goal is to make a Chardonnay in the biggest. most intensely rich style while keeping the wine in balance and maintaining the vineyard's terroir and fruit expression.

Gino's Vineyard Zinfandel
In 1956. we moved to what is now "Gino's Vineyard". a five-acre parcel in the rocky hillsides on the eastern bench of the valley. The vineyard was planted to Zinfandel about 25 years ago and produces quintessential Dry Creek Zin with brown/ginger spices and juicy raspberry and cherry fruit.

Home Ranch Chardonnay
About one mile from Dry Creek. this thirteen-acre vineyard benefits from temperatures. that are a bit cooler than most of the appellation. It makes wine that's very aromatic with nice bright fruit. pear and lemon and a bit of minerality on the finish.

Italo's Zinfandel
This Alexander Valley Zinfandel vineyard was owned and planted by my Father Gino and Uncle Italo in the early 1930s. just after the repeal of Prohibition. They started a little winery that unfortunately didn't fare well during the Depression. My father sold out to my Uncle Italo and went to work for Monte Bello Wine Company in San Francisco. My Uncle continued to lived on the property and was a farmer all his life. When my cousins asked me to crush the grapes from Italo's Vineyard in 2006. I was thrilled with the prospect and decided it was fitting to name the wine after my Uncle Italo.
