our story

Shared Notes is the winemaking joint-venture between wife and husband, Bibiana González Rave and Jeff Pisoni.

Both had early desires of making wine, and spent most of their lives doing so. The year 2012, however, marked the first vintage that they produced together. Previously, during the grape harvest, Bibiana and Jeff were like the proverbial ships passing in the night. Early grape picks and late nights at the winery left them rarely crossing paths.

Now, Bibiana and Jeff do cross paths—to discuss ideas and taste samples. You can sometimes catch them in front of a grapevine, the press, a fermenting tank, or a barrel...most likely with a glass in hand.

Les leçons des maîtres
2025
Lessons of the masters

  • Style: A blend inspired by the cellar masters of Bordeaux and their dedication to Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
  • Variety: 75% Sauvignon Blanc / 25% Semillon
  • AVA: Russian River Valley - Sonoma County

The 2025 vintage of Les Leçons des Maîtres is a compelling expression of the harmony between Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Pale citrus-yellow in the glass, it opens with expressive aromas of tangerine zest, orange blossom, and white peach, delicately framed by a whisper of blonde wood. On the palate, layers of crisp apricot, vibrant citrus, and striking stony minerality unfold across a broad, textured mid-palate before converging into a focused, linear finish of remarkable length and precision. Beautifully balanced and impeccably structured, this wine offers immediate appeal while possessing the concentration and poise to evolve gracefully for two decades or more.

Les pierres qui décident
2025
The rocks that decide

  • Style: A Sauvignon Blanc inspired by the pure and focused wines of the Loire Valley, where the rocks "decide" the style.
  • Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
  • AVA: 70% Sonoma County / 30% Napa County

The 2025 vintage of Les Pierres qui Décident reflects a lifelong pursuit of Sauvignon Blanc at its most pure, precise, and mineral. Pale lemon in hue, it opens with expressive aromas of lemon zest, fresh lime, and fragrant lemon verbena, layered with native Sonoma wildflowers and a distinctive mineral freshness. The palate is driven by crystalline acidity and flinty minerality, unfolding into layers of crushed stone that broaden seamlessly across a textured mid-palate before leading to a long, precise finish. Focused yet expansive, this wine captures both the energy of its site and the depth to reward careful cellaring for years to come.

our coffee

Shared Notes has always been a joint-venture in winemaking: crafting small lots of high-end wine (and “sharing notes”). The desire is to share the same passion for coffee as they have for wine.

Both Bibiana and Jeff have spent their entire lives focusing on the sensory details of smell and taste while making wine—now they also look to do the same with single-farm sourcing & roasting of coffee.

Shared Notes Coffee is crafted by Bibiana and Jeff Pisoni, winemakers who spend their lives studying soil, climate and fermentation to express the beauty of a site or region. Coffee, like wine, derives its story and flavor from the land where it is born.

Shared Notes is dedicated to sourcing single-origin coffee beans exclusively from Colombia, Bibiana’s native country.
