Where the Wine is Made
About
DRNK
DRNK represents the collective joy of working and being together. Founded by partner and winemaker Ryan Kunde in 2012 with his wife Katie, and her parents Dale and Nancy Dougherty. DRNK represents the family’s initials – Dale, Ryan, Nancy, Katie. Located in an idyllic setting atop the Laguna Ridge in the heart of Russian River Valley with a 300 foot wine cave – only 1 of 4 in the area, this is where the wine is cellared and private tours and tastings are held.
Wines poured at Region: 2020 Pinot Gris | 2018 Old Vine Zinfandel
