Neiman Cellars, located in Coombsville, Napa Valley, is owned and operated by Drew Neiman, who has a background in winemaking influenced by his family’s wine business in Ohio and mentorship under renowned winemaker John Kongsgaard. Drew began his winemaking career at Newton Vineyards, where he worked for 11 years before launching Neiman Cellars in 1997 with grapes sourced from Caldwell Vineyards. The winery produces a small annual output of under 1,000 cases, focusing on high-quality wines, including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. The Chardonnay is noted for its elegant fruit-forward profile, while the red wines exhibit complexity and layered flavors. Drew's meticulous winemaking process includes barrel fermentation and careful grape pressing, which contributes to the distinctive character of his wines. Visitors can arrange private tastings with Drew, who is known for his engaging storytelling and passion for wine and cheese pairings. Neiman Cellars wines are primarily sold direct to consumers, with limited restaurant distribution, including a notable presence at The French Laundry.
