Distinctive cabernet sauvignon and other Bordeaux-style wines? Exemplary Napa Valley chardonnay? Some of California’s best Rhône-inspired bottlings? At Miner Family, we’re proud to say we have these iconic wine bases covered.
But after nearly 30 harvests, another thing we’re proud of—especially as we get into the most festive time of the year—is our ability to gather these, and other, delicious offerings into one of Napa Valley’s finest gifting opportunities.
Going with that holiday theme, we like to describe the wines produced by winemaker Michelle Shafrir and her cellar team as “profoundly joyful.” We think you’ll find no shortage of joy coming out of our Oakville winery this year.
As the message reads on one of Miner’s brand-new gift selections, our Half-bottle Duo Gift Box, the wines included in it are “crafted in a style to encapsulate the distinctive elements and the indelible fingerprints” of the Napa Valley vineyards Dave Miner and Michelle have been sourcing for many years. Individually, the 2023 Chardonnay and 2019 The Oracle are half-bottle standouts; together this duo signifies the winery’s lasting engagement with some of the Valley’s most skilled grape growers—presented in a fantastic new package ideal for gifting.
2023 Chardonnay, Napa Valley – 375ml
2019 The Oracle, Napa Valley – 375ml
RETAIL: $105 | WINE CLUB: $89.25
Accompanying the half-bottle duo in Miner’s what’s-new category this year is our unique Gift Subscription. For three months, recipients will receive two bottles per month of wines that draw from the winery’s diverse portfolio of vineyard sites both in and outside of Napa Valley. From single-vineyard cabernet sauvignon expertly farmed in Chiles Valley, to classic California viognier grown at a historic property in Paso Robles, this subscription—which, of course, includes our beloved Emily’s Cabernet Sauvignon—makes for an enduring, one-of-a-kind gift.
$299 – SHIPPING INCLUDED
A singular Bordeaux blend produced in Napa Valley for over two decades, The Oracle is Miner’s flagship red wine and is featured in a trio of other gift options—The Oracle Vertical, The Oracle with Gift Bag, and our Bordeaux Duo, which also includes Miner’s highly regarded Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon.
To complement these Napa Valley red bottlings, our Rhône Duo—inspired by France’s great Rhône Valley—features a white and red wine that honor Dave’s love of Greek literature: The Iliad white wine and The Odyssey red. As Miner bottlings, they contribute to our identity as one of California’s most original producers.

At Miner Family, we are experts at making wines of, as we like to say, “individualistic style and uncommon quality.” These descriptions apply equally to our gifting and shipping specialists, whose skills are particularly handy when it comes to corporate gifting. Convenience is the key: we specialize in both corporate gifts and multiple-address orders.
Overall, at this time of year (and every other time, too!), we’re happy to remind you that, if you’re looking for a different kind of wine gift—and the service to go with it—we have a range of unique options for every taste and budget.
