Greetings Berserkers:
Sincere thanks to Todd & the WB community for this program – the perfect way for us to meet an unequaled enthusiast community. An honor to be included here.
Between pruning and barrel-topping this week, it’s my goal to help you discover Bohème, now in its 14th year
Pruning English Hill Vineyard Chardonnay, Sebastopol Hills
Dry-Farmed Hillside Pinot Noir, west of Occidental, Sonoma Coast
For those new to Bohème, some history:
As a 5th generation California vintner, my path to wine was perhaps a foregone conclusion. My grandparents, Charlie & Lorna Wagner, founded Caymus Winery in 1972, and infused the family with love for the time-honored craft of winegrowing. Led by my uncle, Chuck, Caymus found success in Napa, and spawned new winery ventures by a number of family members, including yours truly.

On 1/1/00 I moved to the Sonoma Coast to start my own career in wine, and began by managing the Belle Glos Taylor Lane Vineyard near Occidental. In 2004 with much help I planted the English Hill Vyd in the Sebastopol Hills, and began leasing & farming Que Syrah Vyd, which became the first Bohème bottling. The following year we began tending Chardonnay & Pinot Noir at 2 additional Occidental vineyards.

Our continued focus is estate-farmed wines from the hills west of Occidental, which we ferment, age & bottle at our facility in Sebastopol. Please PM me if you’d like to visit.
