ABOUT THE WINE:

“Beginnings” represents the 25-year history of Dan Kosta as a Sonoma County vintner. Convene by Dan Kosta was launched on September 8, 2022, and has received much critical acclaim. Working closely with winemaker Shane Finley since their days together at Kosta Browne starting in 2006, this wine is a barrel selection of their best Convene wine lots and showcases the wonderous flavors of the Russian River Valley.

A fourth generation Sonoma County resident and currently raising the fifth generation of the Kosta family, Dan began his career at the gateway to the Russian River Valley as the wine director at the John Ash Restaurant at Vintner’s Inn Resort. Dan is pleased to offer these five cases of magnums to the winning bidder, along with two seats at his winemaker dinner on August 10, 2023, at the John Ash Restaurant at Vintner’s Inn where his passion for food and wine all began.

Convene represents an ongoing pursuit of the blend. This wine showcases the harmony of their favorite Russian River Valley vineyards and how the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This wine exemplifies New World Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
