Our Team
Erin Brooks & Todd Gottula
Founders & Owners
As founders of Ernest Vineyards, Todd and Erin knew exactly what small, independent brands needed in a shared facility to produce successful wines and - most importantly - what these small companies needed to thrive in connection with guests and consumers. It was through this first hand experience that Grand Cru’s unique hospitality offerings and private tasting salons were born.
Erin & Robert Morris
Founders & Owners
More than twenty-five years as entrepreneurs in Sonoma and Napa counties have honed Erin and Robert’s sense of timing on the right opportunities and were fundamental to the Grand Cru concept. Many vintages of prior wine production experience informed Robert’s vision of exactly what he wanted to create at Grand Cru - an immaculate facility with a focus on elevated, small-lot winemaking.
