East of Napa, Left of Center: the Giguiere family embodies Dunnigan Hills winemaking. Matchbook Wine Company is a family-owned winery tucked away in Northern California's gently rolling Dunnigan Hills.
John and Karl Giguiere are 5th generation farmers who know the region’s soil, climate and true potential of the land. In 1981 they pioneered grape growing in this region when they planted their very first vineyard. By 1993 they’d succeeded in making the Dunnigan Hills a nationally recognized American appellation.
