Jack and Johanna of Keep wines
December 1-31: Keep Wines
Jack Roberts and Johanna Jensen hold a very special, dear place in our hearts. They’re some of the first people we met when we moved to northern California from NYC in 2011, and their generosity of spirit and shared love for some of our own favorite wines made them fast friends… nearly 14 years later, our friendship is going strong, and the wines they make under their label, Keep (started around the same time—such kismet!), have never been better.
Keep is named after the strongest, safest part of a castle—the last place an enemy could penetrate and where you’d keep your most prized possessions… including wine. Jack and Johanna make the kinds of pure, unadorned and beautiful-for-it wines that we, indeed, like to keep around and drink with gusto. They work in what we call the “vigneron” tradition, making small batches of wine with tons of TLC, spontaneous fermentations and no corrections/additions aside from an occasional skosh of sulfur to ensure stability, all from certified or practicing organic vineyards. We hope these bottles encourage you to keep calm and carry on this holiday season.
