Jeff began his wine experience more than a dozen years ago and his enthusiasm for fine wine has continued to grow. Working personally with August "Joe" Briggs, owner of Briggs & Sons Winemaking Co. of Calistoga, CA, he launched the Jeff Gordon Collection of wines in the fall of 2005 with a 2004 Carneros Chardonnay, followed by different vintages of Napa Valley Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Additional releases include a Merlot/Cab blend, called "Joie de Vivre", a Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and a French-style Rose of Syrah.

Jeff recently debuted the 2007 vintages of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir labeled "Ella Sofia," his daughter who was born that year as a tribute to the happiness she has brought to her proud parents.

"August Briggs wines are extraordinarily good because Joe limits his production in pursuit of the highest quality, which is one of the reasons I chose him to make my wines," Jeff says. "I hope you enjoy the many varietals that are now available."
