Winery Sixteen 600

Winery Sixteen 600 is a small, family-owned winery based in Sonoma, California, founded in 2007 by Phil Coturri together with his wife Arden Kremer and sons Max and Sam Coturri. It is a vineyard-focused producer that makes small-batch, single-vineyard wines exclusively from certified organic vineyards farmed by Phil Coturri and his vineyard management company, Enterprise Vineyards. The winery's identity is closely tied to Phil Coturri's more than four decades of pioneering organic and biodynamic winegrowing in California, a legacy that began when he converted the Dos Limones Vineyard to organic viticulture over forty years ago. The portfolio centers on Rhône varietals, especially Grenache, along with field blends, and also includes Cabernet and Zinfandel chosen to honor the family's Sonoma heritage. A featured range, Á Deux Têtes, is described as "three wines, two valleys, one varietal." The wines are made to be both drunk and collected, reflecting the family's own tastes. The winery operates a Tasting House in Sonoma and a wine club called "Phil Sent Me," through which members receive releases and event access. Winery Sixteen 600 positions itself around the idea that wine expresses a sense of place, conveys a moment in time across generations, and tells a family story. Its stated mission connects Phil Coturri's industry legacy with a vision of wine "from the vineyard to the wineglass," and emphasizes community, friendship, and celebration. The operation remains privately held and family-run, with Sam Coturri serving as proprietor and Phil Coturri as founder-owner.

Winery Sixteen 600 was founded in 2007 by Phil Coturri, his wife Arden Kremer, and their sons Max and Sam Coturri. The winery grew out of Phil Coturri's long career in organic viticulture: more than forty years ago he converted the Dos Limones Vineyard to organic farming, merging the ethos of his "back-to-the-land" hippie community with his life in wine growing. He found that organic farming and enlivened soils allowed a true sense of place to emerge in the wines, and he went on to become a widely recognized pioneer of organic and biodynamic winegrowing in California, described by the Hollywood Reporter as a "famed organic viticulturalist" and by Sonoma Magazine as "the ubiquitous wizard of sustainable winemaking." The winery is deliberately vineyard-focused. It produces small-batch, single-vineyard wines exclusively from certified organic vineyards farmed by Phil Coturri and his vineyard management company, Enterprise Vineyards. The range emphasizes Grenache and other Rhône varietals, field blends, and also Cabernet and Zinfandel to honor the family's Sonoma heritage. A featured range, Á Deux Têtes, is presented as "three wines, two valleys, one varietal." The wines are chosen to be both enjoyable to drink and worth collecting. The family story is central to the brand. Sam Coturri, Phil's son, serves as proprietor; family legend holds that at age three he walked around a party serving "'turri Wine" in Dixie cups. Sam was the fourth generation of his family born in San Francisco. The winery operates a Tasting House in Sonoma and a wine club called "Phil Sent Me," and it frames its purpose around expressing a sense of place, telling a family story, and building community. The business remains privately held and family-run.
