Dutcher Crossing Winery Full Interview Pt. 1-7
Debra Mathy of Dutcher Creek Winery in full listen!
Dry Creek Valley: 16 miles × 2 miles, 150+ wineries, historic Zinfandel roots from Italian immigrants mirroring Tuscan terroir.
🚢 Wine Cruises Philosophy: Memory-making first, wine regions second — shared life, shared stories, shared bottles, shared break from reality.
🎤 Guest: Debra Mathy — bold voice on generational media fear, “California sober,” and the evolution of the palate.
🚲 Logo Story: Penny-farthing bike, last gift from her father, symbolizing legacy, mindful riding due to limited turn radius and parade chaos.
🚜 Experiences: 90-minute tastings (bar or seated)
Optional vineyard tours via pedicab pedaled by Debra herself (the winery’s “golden ticket” Easter egg)
Picnics welcome for club members (dogs under tables, memories guaranteed)
🍷 Production Evolution: Grew from 6 wines → 30 wines, focused on pride over volume, many small lots (~300 cases) to showcase Sonoma’s finest expressions.
☀️ Solar Panels: Installed post-purchase, continued from founding owners’ sustainability vision.
🍔 Wildcard Moment: Turkey burger + bacon order that bends the frame of clean-living debates.
