Tom Burgess founded the modern winery in 1972 on the site of the original Souverain Cellars (where legends like Mike Grgich and Warren Winiarski got their start). The winery was family-owned until 2020, when it was acquired by the Lawrence family (owners of Heitz Cellars); tragically, the original hillside facility was destroyed shortly after in the 2020 Glass Fire, but production continues with a focus on regenerative farming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burgess Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51684287316287,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/7912\/6079\/files\/BURGESS.jpg?v=1767138844","url":"https:\/\/munkmafia.com\/products\/burgess-red-blend-alpinist-napa-valley-2015-750ml-14","provider":"Munk Mafia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
