Dogwood & Thistle Wine Company
Owned by husband and wife team Sandy and Erin Robertson, Dogwood & Thistle Wine Company started as a passion project that allows them to work with small, family-owned vineyards to make wines that we love to drink and share with others. Our inaugural release was 60 cases of 2017 Oppenlander Pinot Noir and 150 cases of 2018 Mariah Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, both from Mendocino, CA. In 2021 we relocated our family to Virginia, and in 2022 we produced our first vintage of wine using Shenandoah Valley fruit.
