Cartograph: Our Journey In Wine
Great wine takes you places. It takes you back to the region where the grapes were grown. It takes you to the time and place where you first tasted that wine. It conjures memories of sharing wine with friends and family.
Cartograph is itself a destination, a road map and a journey. That journey is represented in the imagery that adorns the Cartograph label. Look closely and you’ll see where we’ve been, where our paths have crossed and the circumstances of several careers and experiences that defined who we are, how we think, how a passion for great wine was instilled within us and, finally, how Cartograph was created.
When you enjoy a Cartograph wine, our journeys come together. Where were you when you had your first taste of Cartograph wines? Where were you when a glass of wine truly captured your attention? Where is your favorite wine from? Share your stories with us and join our growing community of wine lovers at Cartograph.
Floodgate Vineyard is through verasion - looking great
AUGUST 23, 2011
I had to share a few pictures that I grabbed while looking at the grapes at Floodgate the other day. The Pinot is through veraison (when the berries turn from green to purple) and The Gewurztraminer is almost there. In the Gewurz pictures you can see a few berries that are starting to take on a golden hue. These berries are already tasting quite sweet so I’m wondering if the Gewurz will be the first fruit in this year?

In anticipation of the holiday season, we have a handful of events happening in our micro-winery and tasting room, Garagiste Healdsburg. The events range from live music by local musicians, handmade crafts by local artisans, community events, and chef meals paired with our wines.

Looking forward to March 2012, we will be pouring at the Grand Tasting by the Sea at World of Pinot Noir and at Charlie Palmer's Pigs & Pinot.
We'd love to see you at one or all of these events!
Welcome to Garagiste Healdsburg
15 AUGUST 2011
Our new tasting room is called Garagiste Healdsburg and it had it's grand opening on July 30. Garagiste Healdsburg is a collaboration between us and Stark Wine. Because both Cartograph and Stark are small producers (under 600 cases each), we decided to open a shared space. Garagiste Healdsburg is a collaborative micro winery, tasting room, and wine lounge. It is located at 439 Healdsburg Avenue (2 blocks north of the main plaza). Our hours are Thursday - Sunday 12pm - 7pm and by appointment on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We hope you'll come taste with us in our new space!
