Cruse Wine Company joined the MBC family in 2016 and for good reason; Michael is making some of the most energetic and inspiring wines in Northern California, and is without question the most talented sparkling winemaker in America. We first met with Michael in late May 2016 at his small facility in Petaluma with great excitement to taste what he has been working on over the last year. After less than an hour with him, it was clear to us why some of California’s top winemakers are working with him on their own sparkling wine projects. Cruse Wine Company proclaims they are “thoughtfully crafting table wines from unique vineyards in California.” Well if these are American table wines then we need to spend more time at the table.
