A Twenty-Year Journey
JACE Cellars: A Friendship, A Passion, A Mountain
At SoNapa Grille, we've spent nearly two decades dedicated to discovering and sharing the very best wines from Sonoma County and Napa Valley. Along that journey, we've had the privilege of meeting incredible growers, vintners, and winemakers. Yet it took almost 20 years to find the right partner to help bring our own wine dream to life.
That partner is Doug Hackett, a talented winemaker whose commitment to quality and craftsmanship perfectly aligns with our own philosophy of hospitality. Together, we created JACE Cellars—named after Joe, Adam, Chris, and Eddie, business partners, but more importantly, lifelong friends who share a passion for great wine, great food, and bringing people together.
The SoNapa Connection
JACE Cellars was born from the same commitment to hospitality that built SoNapa Grille. For years, our guests have trusted us to discover exceptional wines and share them around the table. JACE is the next chapter of that journey.
When guests enjoy a glass of JACE, they're tasting more than wine. They're experiencing the culmination of a twenty-year journey, the character of one of the world’s most prestigious mountain appellations, and the passion of a team committed to delivering memorable hospitality—one glass at a time.
Crafted with Doug Hackett
To bring our vision to life, we partnered with acclaimed Sonoma County winemaker Doug Hackett. Together, we created small-production wines that showcase the character of Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak and the spirit of friendship that inspired JACE Cellars.
Over his career, Doug’s wines have earned more than 200 medals and consistent 90+ point ratings, with recognition from competitions and publications including the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Wine Enthusiast, and Connoisseurs’ Guide.
