The winery was founded by Bob Blue, who pioneered the use of bourbon barrel aging in American winemaking. This innovative approach began as an experiment to add complexity and depth to traditional varietals, particularly Zinfandel. 1000 Stories sources grapes from select vineyards across California, focusing on sustainable farming practices and small-lot production methods that emphasize quality over quantity.Beyond their flagship bourbon barrel-aged Zinfandel, 1000 Stories offers a portfolio that includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Red Blend wines. Each varietal is crafted with attention to the unique characteristics of its grape source and aging process. The brand has also explored limited releases featuring Petite Sirah and Gold Rush Red blends. While primarily focused on wine production, 1000 Stories distinguishes itself through its commitment to innovation in barrel aging rather than branching into spirits or beer brewing. Their wines are widely distributed across the United States and have gained recognition for their bold flavors and distinctive oak influences.
