We always spoke about starting a project together outside of Napa, but the timing was never right as Nine Suns engulfed their time and Blue Monster, mine. It wasn't until 2021 that we RECAP[tured] the idea to finally begin a project together.

RECAP of 2021

Our tiny vineyard on the Sonoma Coast is farmed and owned by who we call a loving badass, a 70-something retired firefighter. Day to day, he is out there living his best life riding his ATV with his loyal dog running alongside.

We were drawn to this vineyard by its unique location. It straddles the AVA line of Sonoma Coast and Petaluma Gap (cool, right?). We had the option to harvest from whichever AVA we desired, and after getting to know the vineyard thought the Sonoma Coast better showcased it’s traits.

Not long after our decision to call this vineyard our home to this fledgling wine project, harvest began, and the journey of RECAP along with it.

This has been years in the making between Flora and Jason Chang former shepherds of Nine Suns on Pritchard Hill, and Kyle Gellis of Gellis Family Domain and Blue Monster.

Our friendship began high above the Napa Valley floor on Houyi Vineyard and has led us to the foggy hillside of the Sonoma Coast.
