J. Christopher Winery
Jay Somers first worked making wine with John Paul, winemaker and owner
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.
In return for making
Holloran's Holloran Winery and Stafford Hill label wines, Jay uses the
facility to make his own J Christopher label. Jay tries to work with
organic vineyards as much as possible.
