If a wine brand was a historical fiction novel, Olivia Brion would be the main character in that novel. Each bottle of wine tells a different “chapter” of her story. Life being somewhat more surprising than fiction, the stories of Olivia Brion are inspired by the full lives of real trailblazing women from history. Pinot Noir - inspired by the story of Annie Cohn Kopchovsky, first woman to ride a bike around the world “Les Vagabondes” Tempranillo - inspired by the the story of Effie Hotchkiss, first woman to ride a motorcycle transcontinental “Mon Amour Interdit” Grenache - inspired by the story of Aida de Acosta, first woman in motorized flight “Taquine” White Blend - inspired by the story of Annette Kellerman, inventor of athletic swimwear for women https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1696472788679-LCMD5W4H228RZDRE9MXW/2021+OliviaPinotN+SCRUZ+_back.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1696472761498-K6P8QIV9M6TYKICEPBAX/4-1255950_D_TTB+Front.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1696472968016-ON209WBQJD787AB9YCF5/2022+La+Capitaine+TTB+Back.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1696473008183-CIDYUC3RNFSCLZNPYFN9/4-1255951_D_TTB+Frong.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1696473020733-DYQJZJH3CR1DJPAYE76Q/4-1255954_D_TTB+Front.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1727060500014-DU204LUWU27ZPF9XRDZZ/OB+2022+Vie+Espionnage+Mourvedre+label+3_Front.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/ae377d02-2b16-40a4-8d2b-7ea15255ce2b/6+gift+2-3422.jpg HOME - Cantadora is the natural evolution of Olivia Brion. Where Olivia Brion focuses on stories from history, Cantadora features women from today, giving back to our shared community in exceptional ways. We partner with the Cantadora women on the wines, commission a portrait from a local woman photographer, and give 10% of the sales back to the organization of the women’s choosing. These wines are rich and opulent like the incredible stories of the women on the labels.

We believe how you build the soil is directly tied to the quality it yields. We don’t spray herbicides on our vineyards, instead we make judicious tractor passes and hand labor to keep weeds at bay, and where possible invite sheep into the vineyard as our “wooly weeders”. We aim to avoid over-compression of the soil in both approaches. Our vineyards use owl boxes, fencing and bird netting to discourage animals who would like to eat the grapes. Our vineyards are planted with cover crops that help nourish the soil to keep it healthy for the fruit development. The vineyard is a balanced ecological community that we foster in order to enhance the land and environment for future generations. We work with our estate vineyard and growers toward aspirations of certified organic status. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/076e18fd-f1e1-4bce-98a8-a20786a2ebd5/Recyled+Shippers.jpg OUR PHILOSOPHY - There are very few businesses that are as vertically integrated as winemaking. We farm the grapes, we guide all production decisions, we determine all packaging decisions, then we share the product with people and their friends and family inside their homes or out at restaurants. This process gives us a voice in the movement of sustainability that we take seriously. In order to promote this ideologies we keg wines that are appropriate for that vessel type to reduce glass and cork shipments. We source once used shipping containers to give them a second life in route to you. As much as we would love our grandchildren to revel in a glass of wine we made, we want them to have the chance to delight in the land around us. https://www.oliviabrion.com/shipping-details daily 0.75 2023-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/d0e735a8-c1c2-4a6b-baf9-6ae87176592e/Pricing+Tiers.jpg SHIPPING DETAILS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.oliviabrion.com/find-the-wines daily 0.75 2025-01-17 https://www.oliviabrion.com/napatraveltips daily 0.75 2025-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/7922e7bd-620b-428b-a6bb-3e085d438a4f/DSC00203.JPG Napa Travel Tips https://www.oliviabrion.com/cantadora-wines daily 0.75 2024-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/7d966141-7530-4ec5-b5a4-64dd0915b69f/Cantadora+Logos_Primary+Logo+-+Charcoal.png CANTADORA WINES - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/6c89bb3c-5061-4747-9531-243afd966728/Cantadora+Women+by+Sakhon+Nhek.jpg CANTADORA WINES - Make it stand out The women of Cantadora photographed by Sakhon Nhek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/872d4c87-184c-4e63-83df-0e3e5267c8fb/Sonia%26+Kira+by+Rocio+Rivera.jpg CANTADORA WINES - “Cantadora started as my brain child in 2021. I was thinking about how much my Olivia Brion customers loved the trailblazing stories of Olivia and knew there were similarly incredible stories to tell from today. I wanted to share stories of women confronting today’s issues and tell their tales as inspiration to wine lovers. Cantadora, which translates to storyteller, is the result of that passion for change and love for women and wine.” - Kira Ballotta, Winemaker/Owner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1278185c-66e6-4a29-914d-83d7bdde061f/4Q0A5453.jpg CANTADORA WINES - The labels tell the stories of extraordinary women giving back in novel and profound ways to our shared community. Each wine donates 10% of the sales to the organizations the women have founded.

Cantadora “The Heart of Gold” 2022 Chardonay, Napa Valley Linda Vista Vineyard Dedicated to the story and legacy of Dr. Michelle Asha Albert. Dr. Albert has a smile that literally lights up a room. When I was making the Chardonnay from Napa Valley for her, my primary goal was to capture that energy in a bottle. She has a warmth and zest that is bolstered by a solemn commitment to facts and research. Her serious approach to her professional life as the Dean of Admissions for the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) Medical School and a leading cardiologist is blended with her personal love for fashion and planning intricate and joyful events for family and friends. It is almost a paradox and I wanted that complexity in a glass of wine for her.

In contrast, it also has a silky mouthfeel that lingers on the palate in a cerebral way. I had to work the hardest on this wine in the cellar, doing trial after trial on the barrels to guide it to this apex that is currently in the bottle. I’m describing this demanding process to Michelle and her husband at lunch and her husband nods, he says, “This wine definitely aligns with your story and is so for you.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/a5fe9f4e-c5bb-4594-96cc-7f58e7d01a5b/4Q0A5235.jpg The Heart of Gold - Make it stand out Dr. Michelle Albert, as photographed by Rocio Rivera https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/763ef37a-6a14-455e-ba52-b0a49bf4d9b3/Dr.-Michelle-Albert+doctor+coat.jpg The Heart of Gold - Make it stand out Dr. Michelle Asha Albert, Dean of Admissions UCSF Medical School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1c1aaf48-d3a5-4f27-a0c6-1d0d5c24cef6/Michelle+%26+her+husband+2.jpeg The Heart of Gold - Make it stand out Michelle and her husband of over 20 years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/727d68fd-c161-4a82-8cb7-60a832178b3f/50+over+50+photo.jpg The Heart of Gold - Make it stand out Dr. Michelle Albert, honored on the 2023 list of Forbes 50 over 50 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/ed17756f-29ee-4c12-a620-2b739abf3041/AHA+Photo.jpg The Heart of Gold - Make it stand out Dr. Michelle Albert, the immediate outgoing President of the American Heart Association (2022-2023) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/3e635b7c-06d9-4f60-be97-bc5a72a97356/4Q0A5363.jpg The Heart of Gold - Make it stand out Dr. Michelle Asha Albert as photographed by Rocio Rivera https://www.oliviabrion.com/the-energizer-for-the-ages-2021-gms-blend daily 0.75 2023-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/9a28aa8b-f398-4dd6-b81e-60ca74dde693/Cantadora+Energizer_Back+1.jpg The Energizer for the Ages - Cantadora “The Energizer for the Ages” 2021 Grenache/Mourvedre/Syrah Blend Shake Ridge Ranch, Amador County AVA Dedicated to the story and legacy of Janet Y. Spears. Janet chose the Grenache/Mourvèdre/Syrah blend to represent her. However, it really feels like it chose her. It has robust raspberry and fig notes, full of mouth filling and vibrant bright fruit flavors, with a firm but approachable backbone of tannin to facilitate aging with grace. Janet is most certainly The Energizer for the Ages. I come off any talk her with a brisk walk in my step. She pushes you to smile bigger, take risks, love hard, commit to the work you’re doing, and live boldly.

Her story encompasses that of Blacks in America, Women in America, LGBTQ in America, and growing up in California. There is something to resonate with everyone which is why I am so touched to be able to share her life. Together, with her wife, she dedicates that life to her community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/b2d7d9d5-7f31-4c65-b516-1f0c9cd09e55/Bob+_Bea.jpg The Energizer for the Ages - Make it stand out Bob & Bea, Janet Y.

Nancy Hom chose the Tempranillo from Shake Ridge Ranch as the most reflective of her personal taste in wine and of her story. It doesn’t surprise me once you listen to her rich history in art and living. This wine has the firmest tannins that will age the longest. Their influence can be felt for decades. I often describe this wine as tasting well for up to 50 years and the most likely to maintain its structure intact of any of the wines I create. This feels appropriate given Nancy’s slow and steady ascent in the world of art and her building of a resilient framework of several arts organizations in the City of San Francisco. Organically farmed by Ann Kraemer 95 cases produced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/7829f3ee-3c78-41fd-a010-c1fc91f76858/bottle-dream+3470.jpg The Dream Builder - The silky tannins that this wine will resolve into aren’t so different from the swell of pride Nancy has at seeing her organizations thrive with a new generation of artists and leaders. Mirroring the intricacies of the ever-evolving nature of a wine, the nuances of her story are almost impossible to fit into the length of this essay. In the case of wine, art and life well lived - good things come to those who persist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/ecc0ef83-3c50-4094-8fe5-5b61e7665be6/Nancy+Hom+Age+3.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy Hom, Age 3, China https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/1be16b00-9a74-45d5-82d7-1fae127b24fe/Nancy+Hom+with+mother+in+china.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy with her mother, China https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/3b383984-8cae-456a-b91d-88fb76a621b8/Nancy+Hom+Age+5.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy Hom, Age 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/a67ac5f3-9163-4d96-8c4c-89cae496d4fc/Early+Family+Life+-+Nancy+Hom.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out The Hom Family after the birth of Nancy’s second brother https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/f87d3bd7-e530-4afa-81c1-7058a53d4009/Nancy%27sDad.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy’s Father https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/d360daaa-749e-4759-8fb8-ec4336c50316/NancyWorking1970s.png The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy Hom, in an art studio, early 1970s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/c369882c-a2d5-4120-9800-4ba7d9e4727b/Nancy+Hom+lotus+flower+image.jfif The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Silkscreen art by Nancy Hom, Lotus Flower https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/94e584e6-eec7-4be2-bdf2-dd7854f7f3bd/Nancy_Hom_NoMoreViolence_o.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy Hom silkscreen art, No More Violence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/d8d8d3da-b108-47d8-af2f-7b1ed5628daf/Nancy+Hom+art+piece.jfif The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Silkscreen by Nancy Hom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/5df3232d-13b1-4c2a-8a71-54ca09cad262/Nicole_NancyRetrospective2019.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy with her daughter, Nicole https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/08850925-2aa2-4095-97be-90df588db47c/NancyHom_SWANN_0.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out International Women’s Day poster, 1987, by Nancy Hom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/9dd2cde1-0534-4473-80fc-9a9be6e8f84e/Honoring+My+Father2+silk+screen.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Silkscreen by Nancy Hom in honor of her father https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/cf5dcb7b-1e8f-4fa1-9d3e-d288125705ab/NancyPaintingHerself.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy painting herself https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/72ca86c5-60f4-46da-b0bc-8e0633a9f709/Hsiang_I-HotelCommemoration.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy Hom at I-Hotel Commemoration, 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/73f46463-7067-4f5f-90e2-772311496571/Nancy+and+Mandala.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Nancy Hom with Mandala, 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb0e2e551f4d42c8528bacd/272dc294-0820-40be-9796-737a2cc52cfd/Hom_Nancy_Journey_Transformations+Mandela.jpg The Dream Builder - Make it stand out Mandela by Nancy Hom “Transformation”, Representing the her Life
