The winery specializes in fresh and focused Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, inspired by cool-climate Sonoma Coast vineyard sites.<\/p>\n<h4>The story<\/h4>\n<p>Kurt Beitler founded Boh\u00e8me Wines in 2004, but his winemaking origin story begins decades earlier. As the grandson of Caymus Vineyards founder Charlie Wagner and the nephew of co-founder Chuck Wagner, Beitler spent his early years among the vines in Napa. Although his family moved to Oregon when Beitler was still a child, the vines \u2014 and his uncle Chuck \u2014 would eventually call him back to the North Coast.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123847\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123847\" style=\"width: 935px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-123847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kurt-in-the-fog-935x1400.jpg\" width=\"935\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kurt-in-the-fog-935x1400.jpg 935w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kurt-in-the-fog-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kurt-in-the-fog-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kurt-in-the-fog-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kurt-in-the-fog-1367x2048.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kurt-in-the-fog-1200x1798.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kurt-in-the-fog.jpg 1709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" \/ alt=\"Kurt Beitler, founder of Boh\u00e8me Wines.

Beitler started in the vineyards, learning the intricacies of winegrowing, and found that he loved working outdoors and tending the vines. Still, he wasn\u2019t a big wine drinker in those early days; it took a few special wines from the Sonoma Coast \u2014 including William Selyem\u2019s Summa Vineyard Pinot Noir and Littorai wines from the late \u201990s \u2014 to light the spark of inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, Beitler founded his own winery focused on cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from four Sonoma Coast vineyards, including English Hill, Stuller, Taylor Ridge and Occidental Hills. He makes just 2,500 cases per year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123830\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123830\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-123830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/english-hill-vineyard-1-1024x684.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/english-hill-vineyard-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/english-hill-vineyard-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/english-hill-vineyard-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/english-hill-vineyard-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/english-hill-vineyard-1-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/english-hill-vineyard-1-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/ alt=\"At English Hill Vineyard by the Sonoma Coast.

The 2021 Stuller Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir ($63) is Boh\u00e8me\u2019s darkest Pinot, combining black fruits, earthy notes and complex tannins.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s common these days for Sonoma and Napa wineries to charge $50 or more for tastings, but Boh\u00e8me doesn\u2019t charge a thing. Beitler said he appreciates that people want to come in and sample his wines, and he wouldn\u2019t feel right asking them to pay for it.
