The party was always about the people.

Two generations of pouring wine for whoever showed up.

Wine is for good company.

Wine was never really about the alcohol. It's about who's there, and how long they stay. That belief decided what goes in the bottle, what stays out, and why we chose a chameleon, Cal, to represent us.

A chameleon doesn't change colors to disappear; it chooses to blend in or stand out as it pleases. Bring Karmic Wine anywhere, pour a glass, and toast with everyone else.

California roots.

We wanted to create a wine we would love to drink, crafted in the California tradition with the alcohol gently removed.

North Coast grapes are grown, picked, and fermented like any bottle we'd be proud to pour.

Our aroma-capture process preserves the wine’s flavor and aroma that would otherwise be lost in dealcoholization.

Blended and finished by winemakers who have been doing this for decades.

  • I grew up around the California wine industry, watching my dad work in it for decades.

    When I decided to stop drinking, the nights didn't change. I still went to the same dinners, and actually enjoyed them more because I was fully present.

    But after being handed a soda while everyone else toasted with a glass of wine, I realized how little thought went into the non-alcoholic experience.

    I became curious if I could craft something I’d actually want to drink, and I brought my dad along for the ride. He said yes, but on one condition: it had to be real wine first, or it was pointless.

    That was the beginning of Karmic.

  • In my 28 years of working in wine at Ridge Vineyards, I’d visited countless AVAs and tasted thousands of vintages from every major varietal on earth. I’d seen just about everything the industry had to offer…

    Until Gage approached me with the idea for Karmic.

    When he first told me about his vision to create a premium California wine without alcohol, I was skeptical. Up to that point, I had yet to try an alcohol-removed wine that could hold its own against even modest full-alcohol vintages.

    But Gage convinced me that this dream was worth pursuing, and since that moment we’ve worked tirelessly, blending innovation and craft to create a wine we’re proud to pour.

    Karmic is that alcohol-removed wine I never thought was possible, and together, we are writing the next chapter in California winemaking as a family.
