Bunting Winery, Murphys

Growing up in the San Joaquin Valley as the son of a walnut farmer, Marty Bunting learned the values of hard work and was well-acquainted with long days on the ranch. Though in his early adulthood he moved into another career, he was eventually called back to the valley, where viticulture had caught his attention. In 2011, he and his wife took over responsibility for Pyshon Vineyard, just up the street from where they'd open the doors to Bunting Winery. Using those grapes, they oversaw the production of wines made in the style of the Rhone region of France. The result was eight red, white, and rosé wines, which can be sipped seven days a week at the tasting room, or purchased to sip seven days a week in the privacy of your own wine dungeon.
