Chris Christensen is a self-taught Winemaker, founding Bodkin Wines in 2011. He made a splash with America’s First Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc in 2012 and has continued to push the envelope with high acid, low alcohol products rooted in wine science and craftsmanship. Being a Black American vintner Chris helps to promote inclusion and diversity throughout the wine industry. His collaboration with Jenny and Francois came in 2020 with Jenny in search of affordable and natural wines from California. “Working with J+F is pretty amazing! I’m a big believer in allowing the grapes to determine their own path, and this partnership is a perfect opportunity to be less of a winemaker and more of a grape-shepherd, guiding the fruit on its journey from grapes to wines…” - Chris Christensen on partnership with Jenny and Francois Selections
