Please join us at The Annex, 10387 San Pablo Avenue, El Cerrito, and meet winemaker, Diego Roig of Populis Wines (and Les Lunes Wines) on Thursday, June 26, 2025, 5pm-6pm. There is a $5 tasting fee and you must be 21+ to participate.
Saunt Oungoulian and Diego Roig produce two wines, Populis and Les Lunes Wine. With Populis, they purchase grapes from historic vineyards and multi-generational growers from Mendocino County. These wines are fresh, lively, fruit forward, and made in a playful style. They called this line “Populis” because it’s meant to be “wine for the people!”–delicious, honest, and affordable.
Their facility is literally the basement of Shaunt’s parents’ house in Orinda, just east of Berkeley. This allows them to produce wine without the interference of other wineries’ yeasts or influences as well as allowing them to age their wine for multiple vintages before release if needed.
They are absolutely 100% committed to farming and producing wines organically. They make no additions to the wines save for a small dose of sulfur before bottling if needed, as determined on a barrel by barrel basis.
