Courtney Benham founded Angeline in 1990, in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Made at Martin Ray Winery, Angeline’s philosophy is producing wine that is a true expression of its varietal. Not the opening act for Martin Ray wines or the b-side of the business, Angeline is the backbone – with wines that quickly took hold as a reliable great by-the-glass order in restaurants and bars around California. Soon after, Independent retailers and wine shops took notice, followed by national retailers and recently internet sales have helped take Angeline international.
