Contact: John Evan Marion

John Evan Cellars and Big White House Winery specialize in handcrafted luxury wines of rare quality served in an informal tasting room that encourages education in a fun environment. Barrel tasting is available nearly every weekend as part of your tasting experience. Most weekends John Evan, John the Elder and Stephanie are pouring in the tasting room with a host of knowledgeable volunteers. Wine club members and their guests receive free complimentary tasting at both locations.

We host two labels at our winery. Big White House is the traditional label started by John the Elder in 1992 as a home winemaker at (you guessed it) the Big White House.

In 2004, in recognition of six years of exceptional winemaking, John Evan Marion, launched his own label, aptly named, John Evan on his 21st birthday. This year John Evan celebrated his tenth harvest as a winemaker and is now the head winemaker for both labels. Along with his Dad; Grandmother, Eva; and Tasting Room Manager, Stephanie, John Evan co-owns the enterprise. His sister, Laura Marion is the winery artist (and an actor in L.A.) providing all of John Evan’s labels as original oil paintings. His mom (Diana) is a local artist and teacher and provides some of the Big White House label art.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
