The Calling

When Jim Nantz and Peter Deutsch met, they discovered they had both found success by pursuing a calling in life. For Jim, that calling was to unlock the voice within, eventually calling the greatest sporting events of his generation. For Peter, it was transforming a small family business into one of the most prestigious wine companies in the world.

Inspired by their mentor fathers and guided by their common values, the two found a new calling: a partnership to produce hand-crafted wines that bear the standard of excellence and style that are the hallmarks of these two men.

The Calling’s wines are sourced and made from some of the most prestigious vineyards and winemakers in Sonoma County. Superstar winemakers Dan Goldfield, Wayne Donaldson and James MacPhail oversee every aspect of The Calling’s winemaking, continuing their long tradition of making acclaimed wines from Sonoma’s top appellations. The Calling’s fruit is all sourced from the finest vineyards in Sonoma County appellations best-suited to their respective varieties. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are sourced from the Russian River Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley. The wines reflect the quality and character of these vineyards, exhibiting elegance and complexity from the first aroma to the lingering finish.
