Blackberry and campfire spice on the nose, silky on the palate, easy on the finish—trail-tested, table-ready. Seat the friends, set the bottles, and find your line to the table. Save me a seat—Good Times, Great Wine.

Picking LInes Wine - the brand
Picking Lines is a small, Napa-grown wine label built by river guide–turned–cellar hand Nick, who cut his teeth with legends across Spring Mountain, Oakville, Howell Mountain, and Marlborough before striking his own path in 2018.
Our name comes from the river and the mountain—picking the right line to navigate with balance and flow—and that’s exactly how we farm and make wine.
We PICK the best vine LINES: rows with just-right sunlight, clean airflow, and soils that keep flavors focused.
The result is honest, table-ready wines that carry campfire spice, clean fruit, and a calm confidence from first pour to last plate. We’re here for everyday adventures and after-river dinners, for tailgate-to-table hangs and family beef cookouts—friends first, cork second.
We are an exclusive small limited production brand with award winning pedigree that you can afford whenever you are celebrating GOOD TIMES.
Picking Lines Wines isn’t about high-volume, large-format vineyards. We reclaim grapes from small plots the big brands overlook—then we literally PICK the best sub–micro-climate LINES and rows where fruit runs clean and focused. Some of these vines trace back to Napa’s origins, tucked in off-the-path corners that time forgot. If you want to taste what Napa Valley was founded on—hand-harvested fruit, hand-crushing, artisanal winemaking—you’re in the right place. Find your line to the table. Save me a seat—Good Times, Great Wine.
If you look closely, each bottle wears the quarter circle spear and tells a story of land, weather, and work; each pour is an invitation to gather, pour, repeat. Find your line to the table.
