About the Estate

Nick and Andy Peay planted their estate vineyard near Annapolis in 1996 on a remote coastal ridge that most considered too extreme for viticulture. The gamble paid off — Peay Vineyards has become one of the most consistently celebrated small estates on the Sonoma Coast, producing Pinot Noir and Syrah of remarkable clarity and structure alongside an unusually serious white Rhône program. Winemaker Vanessa Wong has been with the estate since the beginning. Wines are sold primarily through mailing list.

The People Behind the Wine
Winemaker
Head Winemaker
Kyle Altomare grew up in Sonoma County and spent years working harvests across California and Spain before joining Gloria Ferrer in 2012. He became Head Winemaker in 2016, bringing a meticulous approach to traditional method sparkling wine rooted in extended lees aging, precise blending, and an almost obsessive attention to the character of individual estate blocks.
Second Personality
Melanie Schafer
General Manager
Melanie Schafer has been the operational heart of Gloria Ferrer for over a decade, overseeing everything from the tasting room experience to estate hospitality and the food pairing program. A Northern California native with deep roots in Wine Country culture, she brings both institutional knowledge and genuine warmth to one of Carneros' most storied estates.
