Waterstone Winery was formed in 2000 when veteran winemaker Philip Zorn and longtime wine executive Brent Shortridge were introduced and discovered a shared interest in creating luxury wines at affordable prices.
Bringing together their previously established relationships with Napa Valley growers and vintners, the pair set out to develop balanced wines of varietal character through intelligent sourcing. Preferring to focus on the wine itself rather than the accumulation of land and facilities, they own no vineyards themselves, nor do they own the facility where their wines are made. Dedicated winemaking, strong relationships with top growers and long-term grape contracts are the keys to Waterstone’s quality and success in California.
In 2017, Shortridge bought out his partner and signed Laurie Hook, ex of Beringer Napa Valley. Laurie has been quickly increasing the quality and number of wines in the Waterstone portfolio. Expect to see big things from this small producer over the next few years!
