Napa Valley located but decidedly Mediterranean influenced, Massican Wines was founded by Dan Petroski, who spent many years working in New York in magazine publishing  before getting bit by the wine bug and diving in headfirst with an opportunity at a Sicilian winery.

The year in Italy turned out to be formative and eventually influenced him to focus on producing crisp, refreshing, white Californian wines styled after those he loved in Sicily. His efforts paid off and one of Massican’s many accolades is that their Sauvignon Blanc has been featured on the French Laundry’s by-the-glass list for 10 years in a row!
