Bedrock Wine Dinner

Winemaker Dinners with Sonoma’s Bedrock Wine Co. at Comal

Bedrock Wine Co. was founded in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson in a 550 square-foot, former chicken coop with 8 foot ceilings and no fermentation space. After six years of Bedrock being a one-man-show, Morgan was able to talk his best friend, Chris Cottrell, into moving to California from New York to join him. They now happily have a little more space to move around in but share the same objectives that guided the winery at the start.

Morgan was named 2015 co-winemaker of the year by The San Francisco Chronicle’s Jon Bonné, who credits Morgan with being “responsible for some of the most significant, and critically successful, wines in California.”


On Monday and Tuesday, March 22nd and 23rd, Comal will welcome back Morgan and Chris for two more special dinners showcasing a selection of Bedrock wines paired with dishes by Comal's executive chef Matt Gandin. Dinner guests will have the opportunity to engage in lively conversation with Morgan and learn firsthand about his winemaking approach.

This is the sixth in an ongoing series of wine producer dinners (previous dinners include Wind Gap Wines, Arnot-Roberts and Donkey & Goat Winery) held in Comal’s private dining room, Abajo. All previous events have sold out in advance.
