Kendall-Jackson is one of America's most beloved family-owned and operated wineries. Founded by entrepreneur and visionary Jess Jackson in 1982, and now led by his wife Barbara Banke and the Jackson family, Kendall-Jackson is based in Sonoma County and offers a range of acclaimed wines grown on the family's estate vineyards along the coastal ridges of California. A leader in sustainable vineyard and winery practices, including water and energy conservation and natural pest control, 100 percent of Kendall-Jackson's vineyards in California are third party certified by SIP (Sustainable in Practice) and CCSW (Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing). The winery's seminal wine, the Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, has been the #1 selling Chardonnay in America since 1992. In 1983, Jess sold the first case ever of Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay at the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station. That same year, the inaugural vintage of Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay won the first-ever Platinum Award for an American Chardonnay at The American Wine Competition and was a featured favorite at the Reagan's White House, dubbed "Nancy's wine." Committed to aging and fermenting wine in French Oak barrels, Jess purchased a stave mill in Northeastern France in 1991, making Kendall-Jackson the only American winery to share ownership in a French stave mill. One year later, Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay became the #1 selling Chardonnay in America and remains so to this day.
