Our Roots Run Deep.
Half Full Wine Co. was born in a small garage tucked away in Calistoga, CA—right at the heart (or maybe the tail end) of Napa Valley. We’re not here to follow the script. We’re here to rekindle roots, challenge the old wine norms, and spread optimism—one unforgettable bottle at a time.
Our passion runs deep, rooted in generations of Napa lore. Our great-grandfather, John B. Ghisolfo, carved his legacy into Calistoga’s history, weathering Prohibition and building a family story that’s still alive in every bottle we create. But our wines aren’t just about history—they're about reviving forgotten dreams and hidden vineyards.
For over a decade, we’ve been garagiste mavericks, crafting one-and-done, single-vineyard wines that capture fleeting moments and untold stories. We believe every vineyard has its magic, and every wine should be as unique as the hands that tend the vines. No big batches. No repetition. Just limited releases that disappear when they’re gone.
Our wines are more than just grapes in a bottle—they’re an experience. Each one tells the story of a place, a time, and a dream, bottled to be enjoyed without pretense. Because wine should be ever-changing, unpretentious, and unforgettable.
Join us as we raise a glass to the next chapter. No rules, no limits—just really good wine with a dash of nostalgia and a whole lot of heart.
