Oest

Tahnee Shields launched Oest Wines out of a belief that wine is inseparable from the land and the people who tend it. Since going solo in 2023, she has produced a small roster of natural wines that document a specific place, a specific season, and a specific community of farmers in California's Sierra Foothills.

Shields' path to winemaking ran through organic farming. After college she spent years on small farms, deepening her understanding of soil health and land stewardship. A chance encounter with neighbor and winemaker Brad Artziniega introduced her to the winemaking world, and in 2019 the two produced the first tiny two-barrel vintage of Oest. The name sits deliberately between East and West, reflecting a project untethered to a single origin. After the 2022 harvest Shields took sole control, became the inaugural tenant at the Les Lunes facility in Richmond, and produced her first fully independent vintage in 2023 from grapes at Ponderosa Vineyard in Nevada City.
