Healdsburg, Calif.-based Flanagan Wines announced the purchase of the former Everett Ridge Winery in Dry Creek Valley. Last year, the company purchased two Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir vineyards, it says. The most recent investment in a new winery solidifies the company’s ability to meet the growing demand for its wines, it says.
"We couldn’t be more thrilled to find this special winery site and estate vineyards,” Owner Eric Flanagan said in a statement. “We realized two years ago that the winery I built in Bennett Valley wouldn’t meet our future needs. Acquiring an operating winery with a 25,000 case permit, 10 acres of vineyard and a public tasting room feels like a miracle. The location on West Dry Creek Road, just off of Westside Road, is two minutes from downtown Healdsburg and will allow us to connect with our customers in way we never could before.”
