Gearhead Wines

Gearhead Wines is Craig West, working out of the San Francisco Bay Area. He grew up in Orange County harvesting oranges, avocados, blackberries, pomegranates and walnuts, then worked as a fisherman and as a baker at Acme Bread before Noel Diaz of Purity Wine invited him to tread grapes one evening in Richmond. He made his first vintage that same year in his garage while keeping both day jobs.

Craig buys organically farmed fruit from across California, hunting for the right grapes rather than farming a single estate. Everything is made in tiny lots, all foot-tread, much of it built on carbonic maceration, and all of it with no added sulfur. The wines are experiments that stay clean and very drinkable, and they are some of the best value in the natural wine aisle.

Look for the Greatful Viognier pet-nat and the Princess series, which runs from Sauvignon Blanc and a Viognier-Chardonnay blend through to carbonic reds. The full Gearhead range we have carried is below.
