Welcome to the OG Oxlee Graham wine shop! These wines are a love letter to my grandmothers. With each new wine release, I hope to honor them by telling the stories of other inspirational women that have left a lasting impression on my life. Delve into each collection below to explore the wines named for these remarkable people.
Dayle's Wines
Dayle is my mom. Her kindness and service for others is admirable. She steps in to help when others don’t. Sometimes that means jumping on a moving merry-go-round to catch a stranger’s small child that has slipped from their horse. Maybe it entails pulling her car over in the middle of a busy street to help a confused and lost elderly person to find their house blocks away. The situation doesn’t matter, her answer is always compassion. The Sonoma Coast is meant to be the backbone wine for our winery, so it felt only fitting that it be named after my biggest supporter and “backbone” in life.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear a pair of trendy glasses and a colorful top.
Mabel's Wines
Mabel was my grandma and is one of the namesakes for this brand. She was always a practical woman that loved a good project. Always matter of fact and she never minced words. When asked how she finally decided to date my grandfather, after having turned down his advances multiple times, she said "well he showed up on my porch with his toolbox one day and just never left." We shared a good laugh. I decided to dedicate our furthest north vineyard to my grandma as the trees and mountains remind me of visiting her in Washington where she lived.
​
Her commitment level to her "projects" was truly commendable.

Enedina's Wines
Enedina was a caring friend, wife and above all else a devoted mother. My mentor in this industry is Roberto, and Enedina was his mom and best friend. She led her family of seven children with a careful grace, and was always proud to stand back and be their quiet support system. Her family lived on a cattle farm in La Lobera, México where corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts and jicama grew. She turned the family’s bounty into masterful meals like roasted duck with black sauce. Cooking was her love language.
​
Much like Petit Verdot, we think it’s Enedina’s time to shine.

Elinor's Wines
Elinor was my granny and is one of the namesakes for this brand. She was a lady of discerning taste and elegance. Every day with lunch, she enjoyed a glass of a crisp white wine. She and my grandpa would often joke that a glass of wine with lunch and a vanilla milkshake after dinner was the secret to their longevity. Together they lived over 200 years. It’s not a perfect science, but I wasn’t going to argue. For this reason, we thought it only appropriate to name our first white wine after her.
​
Granny knew the secret to longevity was to enjoy life, and that’s just what she did.
