J. Christopher Winery

of tiny cult winery Cameron. In 1999, after three vintages at Cameron,
he partnered with Bill Holloran, a software executive with a love of wine,
and they built a small winery on Holloran's farm.

facility to make his own J Christopher label. Jay tries to work with
organic vineyards as much as possible.
