Several weeks ago, I had the privilege to sit down with Raghni Naidu, founder of Naidu Wines in Sonoma County. Born and raised in the state of Punjab in India, Raghni immigrated to the San Francisco Bay area in 2006. Naidu Wines was “fueled by Raghni’s zeal and is inspired by the farm-to-table lifestyle she experienced over the years.” Her family had a “kitchen garden” and her mother was an excellent cook. Having traveled extensively, Raghni explained that “on one family road trip from Monte Carlo to Barcelona, via Les Baux-de-Provence, France, the cuisine informed her palate and her worldview.”
Raghni Naidu shares her heritage and story as an immigrant at Naidu’s tasting room experiences, during restaurant collaborations and through placements on a bevy of wine lists. She has partnered with premier restaurants and chefs and has had her wines poured at James Beard Foundation dinners and at the British Consulate in San Francisco. To visit Naidu Wines, click HERE.
What makes Naidu Wines notable is not just the world-class region in which the grapes are cultivated. After tasting through several of her selections, it’s apparent that the extremely high quality of each wine is a result of superior balance of flavor, acidity and texture. Each selection can complement a range of foods from Indian and Thai to Mediterranean to American classics in a variety of settings. Curious? Read on.
