The JC Cellars Story

When Jeff Cohn was the winemaker at Rosenblum Cellars, annually he crafted more than 70 different wines. Today, at his Oakland-based warehouse winery, the irrepressible vintner now limits himself to a mere 21 bottlings, focusing on Rhône varietals. Cohn’s longtime relationships with some of California’s top growers and vineyards enable him to source some of the state’s finest fruit, including Rockpile in Sonoma County, Fess Parker in Santa Barbara County and Stagecoach in Napa.

The JC Cellars tasting room is located at 55 4th Street in Oakland and is open for tastings Thursday - Sunday 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Tastings are also available by prior appointment on Mondays. Tastings are $5 per person and refundable upon purchase. For more information on JC Cellars please browse our website or call 510.465.5900.
