Dewey's Wines

The bulk of his experience is split between two wineries, A.P. VIN, where the focus was on vineyard-designate pinot noirs from up and down the California coast, and Cruse Wine Company, where he spent five years as assistant to Michael Cruse, crafting everything from fine-tuned petillant naturels to esoteric reds of depth and focus.

Emma Rosenbush is a longtime Californian but forever a New Yorker at heart. After several years in Mexico City where she co-founded Pichón, an American brunch-inspired pop-up restaurant, Emma returned to California and opened Cala Restaurant in San Francisco with friend and mentor Gabriela Cámara. She remains a managing partner. Emma and Charlie live in San Francisco’s Sunset District with their son Frank. - Dewey's Wines

About the Winemaker

Dewey's Wines

In 2009, Charlie Miller embarked on a harvest job in Napa, setting off a journey that took him through cellars across the globe, from South Africa to New Zealand, Argentina, and back to California, with stops in San Francisco, Sonoma, and Santa Cruz along the way. With each experience, he refined his distinctive approach to winemaking.

The core of his expertise is divided between two key wineries: A.P. VIN, where he specialized in crafting vineyard-designate pinot noirs spanning the California coast, and Cruse Wine Company, where he served as assistant to Michael Cruse for five years. At Cruse, he honed his skills in producing a diverse range of wines, from meticulously crafted petillant naturels to complex, focused reds.
