Lussier - “Loo-see-aye”

It all began back in 2015. After serving seven years as an Infantry Officer in the U.S. Army, with two combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, I returned to my hometown of St. Helena in the Napa Valley. You never know when an opportunity will present itself. For me, it was on a hot summer evening on the Bocce courts of Crane Park. That night, I began my wine career as an intern at Pahlmeyer Winery. There was no turning back once I experienced the art of making wine. In 2016, my wine education continued at Williams Selyem, where I honed my craft, making renowned Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other varietals. Then in 2019, after over three years of immersion in all aspects of the wine industry, I challenged myself to launch Lussier Wine Co. Today. Lussier produces four Pinot Noirs and a Chardonnay from the Anderson Valley and Mendocino Ridge AVAs. We also make a single vineyard selection of “Old Vine” Chenin Blanc from Solano County. Lussier Wine Co. releases our wines to our mailing list members in the spring and fall. Additionally, a small amount of wine is released yearly to restaurants and shops. We’ve started small and are committed to remain so.
