One of Napa Valley’s oldest wineries, now in the hands of its fourth generation, engages Kimberly Jones Selections to lead its distribution efforts in California
NAPA, CALIF. (April 2, 2025) — Pestoni Family Estate Winery, which has been family-owned and operated since 1892, welcomes its first California distribution partnership with Kimberly Jones Selections. Kimberly Jones and her team will represent a selection of the Pestoni Family Estate Winery wines in northern and southern California.
Kimberly Jones, a leading fine wine broker in California, has more than twenty-five years of experience in California’s wine industry, amassing a knowledgeable sales team of professionals and building a portfolio of producers that include the regions of Champagne, Burgundy, the Rhone Valley, Spain and Italy, in addition to a deep portfolio of domestic fine wine producers.
“As an admirer of the diversity and quality of California’s wines, wine-broker Kimberly Jones has consistently demonstrated an incredible talent for representing many of the best producers. With her skilled palate, a limitless enthusiasm, and insatiable curiosity, she has assembled a portfolio of wines that is breathtaking in its diversity, value, and exquisite quality,” said renowned wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr.
“Our consulting winemaker Aaron Pott already has a great rapport with Kimberly Jones and we believe their appreciation for one another, as well as Kimberly’s deep understanding of the Napa Valley and its distribution landscape, will be a tremendous asset for us, leading to great success,” said Greg Pestoni, General Manager, Pestoni Family Estate Winery.
The Pestoni family’s fourth generation, led by Greg Pestoni, has been investing in the future of their family estate winery and vineyards. During the last year, they have brought on consulting winemaker Aaron Pott, one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated and respected winemakers, completed construction on a new outdoor tasting pavilion, begun transitioning to organic farming at their winery estate block, and will complete a full renovation of their winery tasting room in mid-May, in addition to this new partnership with Kimberly Jones Selections in California.
To begin, Kimberly Jones Selections will be distributing the Pestoni Family Rutherford Estate Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc and Sangiovese, as well as the 1892 Field Blend and Barbera, and Howell Mountain Estate Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, ranging in price from $35/bottle to $125/bottle SRP.
