In 2005, brothers John and Steve Dragonette, along with close friend Brandon Sparks-Gillis, founded Dragonette Cellars, inspired by their shared passion for exceptional wine. Having honed their craft at a prestigious Los Angeles wine shop, they set their sights on the rugged, windswept terrain of northern Santa Barbara County. There, they devoted themselves to discovering outstanding cool-climate vineyards and mastering the art of careful, patient, and minimalist winemaking.
