Behind
The Wine

Our wines are sourced and produced from grapes harvested from single low-yield vineyards that are family run which specialize in unique varietals from Sonoma and Mendocino counties. The climate and landscape of these regions provide a balance of character and quality which maximizes the intensity of the fruit promoting a finely structured well rounded wine.

We produce less than 500 cases per year which allows us to dedicate a handcrafted approach to every detail of the wine making process.  During the harvest our grapes are hand picked/sorted when the fruit is perfectly ripe and we strive for Native Fermentation using a cold soak then barrel aged process that intensifies the flavor and color of the wine.

  • Garret Torgerson + Time Raduenz

    Proprietors

    Twelve Eleven was founded in 2015 by Garret Torgerson and Tim Raduenz. They are both originally from Wisconsin, but met in San Francisco in 2007 and their mutual love for wine became the foundation for creating Twelve Eleven. Twelve Eleven is the address of the apartment they both resided at in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco.

    Tim resides in Park City, UT with his family and is principal of Form + One Design.

    Garret still calls San Francisco home, running double-duty with California Epoxy Flooring and overseeing the Twelve Eleven operations.

    Liz hails from the suburbs of Milwaukee, but spent the last decade + on the West Coast.

    During her time in San Francisco, Liz connected with our renegade wine cowboys and started working the San Francisco wine tastings along side Tim and Garret on the weekends.
