In this episode of "The Good Stuff" presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk to Art Murray, Co-Owner & Co-Founder of Flambeaux Wine.

A New Orleans native and environmental attorney, Art Murray shares how his love for food, family, and connection led him to Healdsburg—where just three visits were enough to fall in love with a vineyard and start a new chapter in Dry Creek Valley. With roots in Louisiana, a place known for its rich and diverse food and wine heritage, and a name inspired by the torchbearers of Mardi Gras, Flambeaux Wine blends Southern spirit with Sonoma County soul.

Art reflects on how launching Flambeaux became his way of “passing the torch”—creating something lasting to share with his four daughters and the broader community. What began with just 400 cases has grown to over 2,000 annually, with a focus on small-lot Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Rosé. For Art, wine is about more than what’s in the glass—it’s about connection, from harvest to hospitality.

And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks!
