Caleb Leisure

Caleb Leisure took the long way to the cellar. Raised in the East Bay, he studied English at UC Berkeley and was working on a Master of Fine Arts in fiction at NYU when he fell in with New York's natural wine crowd. A 2016 trip to the country of Georgia, where he tasted wine drawn straight from clay qvevri for the first time, changed his course for good.

Caleb returned to California and apprenticed under Tony Coturri, the Sonoma natural wine pioneer, before launching his own label around 2014. Determined to work the way Georgians have for millennia, he imported ten qvevri and buried them in the earthen floor of his cellar ahead of the 2017 vintage. He remains one of the only California vintners fermenting in authentic Georgian qvevri.
