Founded in 2003 by Dom and Matt Michael, Baldassari Wines is a boutique Sonoma County winery rooted in intentional craftsmanship and vineyard-driven excellence. What began as 92 cases of Bennett Valley Syrah has grown into a celebrated portfolio of wines sourced from small, independent vineyard sites—each chosen for distinct character and terroir. Matt, educated at UC Davis in Fermentation Science, brings decades of winemaking experience that honors both tradition and innovation. Dom welcomes visitors to their tasting lounge in downtown Windsor with conviviality and a deep knowledge of the land and the wines. At Baldassari Wines, every bottle is an expression of place. Their focus is on varietals grown by growers who share their commitment to quality, sustainability, and authenticity. This devotion to growers, vineyard site, and the hands that tend them ensures wines that are not only crafted with purpose but invite connection—to the land, the process, and the people behind every sip.
