    The Good Stuff – Portalupi Wine

    In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Jane Portalupi, Owner of Portalupi Wine.

    Jane Portalupi, co-founder of Portalupi Wines, has been instrumental in shaping the winery's vision and success. She was born and raised in a small coastal town in Northern California and attended Western Washington University for College, getting a degree in Marketing. She first met her husband, Tim Borges, as a child. Their paths crossed again in 2001, leading to their marriage and the inception of Portalupi Wines in 2002.

    With a background in retail marketing, Jane brought a strategic and customer-focused approach to the winery. Her passion for Italian heritage and winemaking traditions, inspired by her grandmother Marina Portalupi, has been central to the winery's philosophy. Marina, who immigrated from Piemonte, Italy, to Northern California, instilled in Jane the belief that wine is meant to be enjoyed regularly with friends and family. Portalupi calls themselves "Cal-Ital,” honoring Italian and California roots through their wines.

    Under Jane's leadership, Portalupi Wines has expanded its portfolio to include Italian varietals such as Zinfandel, Barbera, Pinot Noir, Charbono, and Vermentino, they also have rosé, sparkling, and a liquore. In 2011, they opened a tasting room in downtown Healdsburg, offering visitors a chance to experience their unique Cal-Ital wines firsthand.

    Before Portalupi, there was Luna Park Grocery—Jane Portalupi’s Nonna's beloved neighborhood store in San Jose. There, her Nonna bottled her homemade wine in milk jugs, sharing it with family, friends, and visitors just like she would have a warm meal.

    Portalupi’s Vaso di Marina collection (Vaso di Marina Rosso & Vaso di Marina Bianco) was inspired by the milk jugs Jane Portalupi’s grandmother used to bottle wine at her grocery store. Beginning this year, 2% of all sales from Portalupi’s Vaso di Marina product line will directly benefit Farm to Pantry, supporting their mission to serve local communities in need.

    And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks!
