Beauregard The Lost Weekend Red is a bold, storied blend that pays homage to the historic roots of both the vineyard and the winery's legendary tasting room. Crafted from heritage vines planted in 1888 at Sandy Lane Vineyard—nestled in the deep, sandy soils along the San Francisco Bay—the wine reflects generations of dedication by the Gonsalves family, who have lovingly tended these gnarled, head-trained vines for over a century. This captivating blend of Zinfandel, Carignan, Grenache, Petite Sirah, and Mourvèdre is fermented with native yeast and aged in neutral oak, allowing the pure essence of the fruit and terroir to shine through. With its rich history and meticulous winemaking, The Lost Weekend Red is an irresistible invitation to indulge in California’s viticultural heritage.

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
