RD Winery is a California-based beverage producer and winery that emphasizes minimalist winemaking and sourcing fruit from renowned vineyards across Napa and Sonoma. It is notable as Napa Valley’s first Vietnamese-owned winery and, currently, the only Vietnamese woman-led winery in California. The portfolio, overseen by Winemaker Timothy Milos, includes the Hundred Knot line with classic Napa/Sonoma expressions and the Fifth Moon line focused on food-friendly varieties; the company was founded in 2012 by Dong Nguyen and began expanding in the U.S. in 2019, with a tasting room opened in summer 2020, and it holds Napa Green certification. Based in Vallejo, California, the winery positions itself as a welcoming space that aims to foster community through wine, drawing inspiration from Vietnamese culture and traditions. A recent development noted in 2022 is the addition of Rachael Froehlich as assistant winemaker and production manager, reflecting ongoing team strengthening.
