CLAIRE DUCROCQ WEINKAUF

OWNER and WINEMAKER

Picayune Cellars was founded in 2011 with my good friend Jennifer Roberts. We both shared the same love for drinking quality wines and the same drive for searching great value. Surrounded by a pool of amazing winemaker friends we decided to follow the classic French Negociant model and buy small lots from the hands of our talented friends and give them a new future. Claire lives in Calistoga with husband Aron Weinkauf-Winemaker at Spottswoode Winery and their two children.

Being a negociant winery gives me a lot of room to have an extensive and fun wine selection. From Champagne (Yes from France!) to Napa Valley Bordeaux blends with a stop in the Hyde Vineyard for Sauvignon Blanc, Mendocino for a French inspired rosé, to the Petaluma gap for Pinot noir and the Sierra Foothills for Rhône varietals, we have a lot to offer.

Picayune (pronounce {pee-ka-ˈyün} ) means a little bit in regional French. In the US, it used to be an old Spanish coin worth half the value of the Real. We make over ten different wines from Rosé to a Napa red blend with a special mention for our Champagne (a partnership with a French family). Picayune is more that great wines, it is also a curated shopping experience with an eclectic selection of amazing artisans including French Master Knife makers, Native American ledger artists, a local silk scarf maker, etc. Cheers!
