  • Jolie Laide Wines at The Progress

    20 Mar 2025 only
    The Progress will be hosting the team from Jolie Laide Wines, offering their creative wines alongside our à la carte menu. Participation is not required. Jolie-Laide is a small, avant-garde winery in Sonoma County, California, founded by Scott and Jenny in 2010. Their name, meaning "Pretty-Ugly" in French, reflects their philosophy of unconventional beauty. Known as pioneers of the "New California" movement, they emphasize natural winemaking with low intervention, whole-cluster fermentation, and early harvests to preserve acidity and freshness. They work with sustainably farmed vineyards and unique, lesser-known grape varieties. The winery also features changing, artistic labels each year, celebrating the artistry behind their wines.

RSVnapa is a second-generation, family-owned vineyard and winery, committed to organic farming and sustainable practices since 1991. They follow Rudolph Steiner's “whole farm” philosophy, prioritizing soil health to create vibrant, balanced wines. With 200+ acres of vineyard and natural habitats, they foster biodiversity and sustainability. Winemaker Jeff Virnig crafts wines that emphasize elegance and finesse, avoiding score-driven reviews. The farm also integrates sheep, enriching soil and providing wool, completing the cycle of life in a closed-loop, eco-friendly system.

    We had such a fantastic meal and time with our friends last night! Great cocktails, delicious food, attentive and friendly service that wasn't intrusive, and a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We felt so happy to have snatched up a reservation, and it did not disappoint.

    For what it’s worth, the food was amazing, the service as well. This would be my first time going to a nice restaurant and the waitresses and waiters made it feel homey. They took their time explaining the menu and informed me that some of their items on the menu can be served half or full. Even for half I felt satisfied, I peeked over to the table adjacent to mine to see how big the portions were for the full plate, I was shocked to see a big plate of food. The ambiance was nice and felt very comforting.
