NORIA Winery

Originally from Tokyo, Nori first learned about fine wine at his uncle’s Italian restaurant. He wanted to break into the industry and knew that UC Davis was the place. After earning his V&E degree, Nori climbed the winemaking ladder at Artesa, Jamieson Ranch and Larson Family Winery. He then leveraged his expertise and contacts to start his own brand, NORIA, in 2010. Nori exported some of his limited production wines to Japan and built a niche selling to Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area.
