Alice Warnecke Sutro is an artist, winemaker and grapegrower. She founded the wine label SUTRO in 2012 and manages all aspects of the business. She is also proud to work in agriculture for her family business: Warnecke Ranch & Vineyard, the inspiration for her wine label and where she sources premium Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc.
When she wears that hat (and boots) she is assisting her aunt, Margo Warnecke Merck, to manage the family's 80-acre vineyard growing premium grapes for winery clients. She is deeply interested in the long-term potential of her local agricultural community and in 2019 joined the Alexander Valley Grapegrowers Association Board and heads their Marketing Committee and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.

Art
Report
22 portraits of Locals doing hotel-y things now grace the glass hallways of Harmon Guest House, an art-infused contemporary hotel right off the plaza, in downtown Healdsburg. Created with tempera paint on glass, this temporary installation is a result of the joint envisioning of hotel owner Circe Sher and local artist Alice Warnecke Sutro.
Online Exhibit
Report
Online exhibit of artwork relating to grape growing and winemaking, or the Sonoma County agricultural lifestyle, curated by Alice Warnecke Sutro with artist interviews. My favorite photographer is Henri Cartier-Bresson. He captured humanity with candid street shots from the 1930s to the end of the last century.
Women in Wine
Report
I wouldn't be here without the women who are trail blazers before me in the wine industry. Witnessing woman-founded or woman-run wineries, woman winemakers, female oenologists and viticulturalists motivates me to continue to reach for my wine dreams. I am not a trail blazer nor am I by any means well-known, but I am an artist.
Volcanic Wine
Report
Volcanic Terroir is as exciting and enigmatic as it sounds. It makes wine that is strong and charismatic. Terroir itself is a complex notion best described as the confluence of environmental factors that make the growing conditions at one site undeniably unique. The distinguishing feature of Volcanic Terroir is volcanos.
Warnecke Ranch
Report
Sutro Wine Co. was created to pay respect to a heritage of land stewardship, entrepreneurship, female leadership and creativity; and to display a craft that was honed to do justice to the Warnecke Ranch & Vineyard Volcanic Terroir. Warnecke Ranch & Vineyard is managed by my aunt Margo Warnecke Merck, a compassionate and dedicated land steward.
