Calligraphy Wine

Calligraphy Wine is a women-owned and operated boutique winery based in Sonoma County, California, dedicated to producing small-lot, single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from prestigious vineyards in the region. Founded by Pooja Gorthy, the winery reflects a philosophy that draws parallels between the art of calligraphy and the craft of winemaking — emphasizing integrity, harmony, ancestry, and rhythm in every bottle produced. The winery operates on a limited-release model, offering exclusive wines to members through a curated mailing list rather than broad retail distribution. This approach ensures that each release maintains the artisanal quality and scarcity befitting a true small-production winery. Winemaking duties are led by Megan Baccitich, a Healdsburg native with deep roots in California viticulture. Baccitich brings over a decade of elite winemaking experience, including a ten-year tenure as Director of Winemaking at the acclaimed Paul Hobbs Winery, where she earned multiple 100-point scores for wines crafted from top California and Oregon vineyards. Her philosophy centers on winegrowing-as-farming, prioritizing a deep understanding of individual vineyard sites to produce expressive, terroir-driven wines. Her clientele and portfolio reflect a commitment to collaborating with like-minded partners and selecting vineyard sites of exceptional character. Calligraphy's focus on single-vineyard designates allows the winery to highlight the distinct characteristics of Sonoma County's most prestigious growing sites. By concentrating exclusively on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — two varieties for which Sonoma County is internationally recognized — the winery positions itself within the premium and ultra-premium wine segment. The founder's background spanning art, music, technology, and immigration from India infuses the brand with a unique cultural perspective and a deep personal connection to craft and symbolism. Calligraphy Wine appeals to collectors, wine enthusiasts, and members-only buyers seeking limited-availability, high-quality Sonoma County wines with a compelling origin story and proven winemaking pedigree.
