LOVE Wine
A continuing collaboration between wine and art
Led by Estate Director Nicole Hitchcock, we’ve teamed up again with grantLOVE, the art and design initiative created by artist Alexandra Grant, to create our second LOVE Wine. We’re uniting our shared commitment to empowering women and creativity in the wine industry and the art world.
LOVE Wine’s second edition is a collaboration between J Vineyards, grantLOVE, and this year’s artist, Blanca Molina. Together we’ve developed a limited‑edition California Brut Cuvée where contemporary art and sparkling wine come together through creativity, connection, and shared expression.
Now Available.
LOVE Wine Second Edition
by Blanca Molina & grantLOVE
Limited‑Edition California Brut Cuvée
This vibrant California Brut opens with aromas of yellow apple and toasted pie crust, unfolding into bright flavors of green apple, white peach, and pineapple. Fine bubbles carry the wine across a textured mid‑palate, finishing crisp and clean with elegance and lift.
BLANCA MOLINA
2026 Featured Artist
This year’s LOVE Wine label features original artwork by Blanca Molina, a Sonoma County–based artist whose work is rooted in vibrant color, cultural storytelling, and a deep sense of place. Drawing from her Mexican heritage and California upbringing, Molina creates bold, joyful compositions that celebrate community, resilience, and shared experience.
Her perspective brings a distinctly local voice to LOVE Wine—continuing the collaboration through an artistic lens shaped by place, culture, and community.
Art Rooted in Place
From large‑scale murals across Sonoma County to expressive illustration and design, Blanca Molina’s work lives in public spaces—created to be encountered, shared, and experienced together. Her art reflects joy, optimism, and belonging—values that resonate deeply within LOVE Wine’s second edition.
