In Northern California’s Wine Country, exceptional ingredients, terroir and artisan blending are essential in the crafting of world-class wines and memorable meals. At the Sonoma Syrup Co., we apply these principals to our artisan culinary products.
Founded in 2002 by Karin Campion, Sonoma Syrup Co. is steeped in the regions culinary tradition of naturally derived, high quality 
flavors and healthful ingredients. Handcrafted in small batches, the uniquely American syrups and extracts reflect the flavors and sensibility of the region.
A lifelong California resident, Karin created the Sonoma Syrup Co. to capture and share the quintessential flavors of Sonoma. She is involved in the specialty food business and developed the Infused Simple Syrups from her own kitchen garden.

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2014 Marietta Cellars Angeli Cuvée
Angeli Cuvee is rich, voluptuous and sexy. Bright and evocative in the glass, the fruit runs from tart rhubarb all the way to ripe blackberry. A full mouth of fruit yields to stone and earth as the Zinfandel is bolstered by textural Petite Sirah. Brilliant now, this wine will surprise Zinfandel Lovers with its aging ability. Learn more here.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate says: “One of Marietta’s most serious wines is their 2014 Angeli Cuvée, a Zinfandel-dominated blend with Petite Sirah and Carignan. They make about 2,000 cases of this Sonoma wine. It is a delicious fruit-forward wine with loads of raspberry, black cherry and roasted Provençal herbs. It is Mediterranean in style with medium to full body and a whopper at 15.3% natural alcohol, but there is not a trace of heat. It is fruit-driven, spicy, earthy and hedonistic. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.” WA90/100
