The Vice

Washington, DC

The Vice Wine, founded by Malek Amrani, is located in Napa Valley and emphasizes showcasing the region's diverse terroir through a range of wines. Amrani, originally from Morocco, transitioned from aspiring doctor to wine entrepreneur after moving to New York City. He began producing wine in 2013, starting with a Chardonnay and expanding his portfolio to include wines from 14 Napa sub-appellations. The Vice Wine offers three tiers: House wines, single vineyard selections, and premium offerings, maintaining affordability by sourcing grapes from smaller growers without owning vineyards. Visitors can expect a unique tasting experience, as Amrani often engages them in discussions about preferred varietals and AVAs. The winery produces a variety of wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon, each crafted with distinct characteristics and innovative techniques. Notably, The Vice Wine embraces "authentic innovation," experimenting with non-traditional blends and aging processes. The wines are well-regarded for their quality and complexity, making The Vice a noteworthy destination for wine enthusiasts seeking both value and diversity in Napa Valley.
