Dirty and Rowdy Wine Co. is a micro-scale wine producer based in Calistoga, California, focused on Mourvèdre and Semillon. It makes single-vineyard Mourvèdre wines from two distinct sites—one in Santa Barbara County's unconventional terroir and the other in the stony hills of Amador County—and also produces a Semillon that undergoes skin contact and fermentation in a concrete egg. The production approach aims for minimal intervention while maximizing vineyard character, employing high-contact methods such as foot treading. In 2011, the operation consisted of roughly a dozen barrels, a concrete egg, and two people. Within the beverage manufacturing industry, the company occupies a niche that emphasizes terroir and craft over scale, targeting wine enthusiasts who value single-vineyard expressions and experimental fermentation. The business is described as a tiny, founder-led operation rooted in Calistoga, reflecting its early-stage, artisanal character.
