Drive Wines is a two-man team, owned and operated by John Musto and Tom Young who connected as home winemakers in Santa Rosa Junior College’s “Wine Studies” program. Drive was launched in 2017 in a vintage car garage in Sonoma County. The project started with a single barrel of Zinfandel and has grown steadily since its launch. Along the way, Drive has received a multitude of 90+ points scores and Gold Medals on each of their first three released wines, including a 95 point Double Gold score (North Coast Wine Competition) on their first-ever release, a 2017 Zinfandel from Puccioni Ranch in Dry Creek Valley. Drive’s mission is to make boutique wine more approachable and share the Sonoma County lifestyle.
