Winemaker and owner Brenda Lynch didn't grow up dreaming to be a winemaker. She discovered her passion for winemaking when she, husband Chris and their 3 dogs moved to Sonoma County in 1994.
Brenda started to work in cellars in the Russian River Valley and she credits these early years as cellar worker into cellar master with providing the foundation of her winemaking philosophy - harvest beautiful fruit, treat it gently in the winery and keep the winemaking as natural as possible.In 1995, Brenda decided to make her first professional wine, a Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, and Mutt Lynch Winery was born.

Our Winery Dogs
Report
When Mutt Lynch Winery was established in 1995, Maximilian (Max) and Nikita (Nicki) become our original winery dogs. Max was a sweet, sensitive male - a mix of golden lab and english setter we believe. And Nicki was a dominating female - Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Terrior mix. They were the odd couple indeed.
Our Vineyards
Report
The vineyards that have a truly special place for Mutt Lynch are those associated with our Reserve "mbf" wines. We leave the farming to long-time grape growers, relying instead on hand shake agreements built on trust and friendship. Each and every vintage, Brenda works with our growers on the "Mutt Lynch blocks", those rows or sections that Brenda has deemed ideal to produce our wines.
Wine & Gift Shop
Report
Please note: All wine purchases require an adult signature (Age 21+) upon delivery. If you have special requests - delivery by, delivery after, delivery method, etc., please mention this in your order notes. Winemaker Brenda Lynch is very, very excited about her 2019 Merlot Over and Play Dead. When asked to describe the wine, she said "red berries, licorice and mocha coffee" Doesn't that sound delicious?
Custom Label
Report
Each order allows for you to send in one dog photo. Should you wish to add additional dog photos to create different labels, we charge $10 for each additional photo label. Please add this to your shopping cart by selecting the "Extra Label Upcharge" below. Please Note: All wine purchases require an adult signature (Age 21+) upon delivery.
Wines That Give Back
Report
Launched in 2017, our Wines That Give Back program has fast become our signature charitable program to support animal rescue organizations with our wines. Winemaker/owner Brenda Lynch works with each nonprofit animal rescue group to design a unique label using artwork that is personal to that organization.
