"Jayson Woodbridge's winemaking philosophy is "Wide open throttle or don't bother doing it at all," i.e. risk everything; all in at all times. With that in mind, no matter where you see kay, you can be sure you will be drinking a bottle of red wine made with One Hundred Percent pure unrestrained Attitude.

The bottom line is, Jayson doesn't care what anybody thinks. He searches out the best vineyards and makes uncompromised wine; wine that is powerful and complex, yet elegant.

Robert Parker said of Jayson, "Woodbridge is irrefutably a contrarian, but he is the kind of person you want going against mainstream, conventional thoughts. His wines are among the most individualistic in California."

KAY IS ELUSIVE; SHE CAN BE COMING FROM ANYWHERE, AROUND ANY CORNER, THE WORLD. IF YOU SEE KAY IN ITALY You will know in no uncertain terms that you are drinking a massive red from an ancient land - Lazio - largely Cabernet-based, a touch of Petite Verdot and Primitivo.

You’ll see her cruising through the Lazio region, just South of Rome. The climate is almost identical to kay’s home in the Napa Valley, warm summer days and cool nights. Kay smells amazing; she’s soft, creamy, juicy, rich, and powerful all at the same time. A dark and brooding wine, hints of imminent danger, ripe with confidence and purpose; on a mission. She’s more than a mouthful, but never wasteful – like handfuls of juicy ripe blackberries dripping from your hands, so perfectly ripe that you have to go back again and again for another taste.
SURRENDER YOUR INHIBITIONS COMPLETELY, you can have a taste of kay, but you’ll never have her. Put the throttle down, never spit, always swallow. Drink it while it’s here, she won’t stick around. 

THE EXPRESSION,“IF YOU SEE KAY”ORIGINATED WITH IRISH AUTHOR JAMES JOYCE’S 1922 MASTERPIECE ULYSSES, WRITTEN AS AN ADAPTATION OF HOMER’S ODYSSEY.

This iconic novel turned the concept of fiction on its head and after years of controversy, Ulysses has come to be considered one of the finest Modernist works of all time. The reference within the brand name serves as a reminder that visionaries rarely play by the rules. The connection is that the opening stanza from the Homer’s Odyssey has been the central theme with Hundred Acre Wines since day one... everything comes full circle.

IF YOU SEE KAY is a culmination of outstanding winemaking and the image of a strong woman, Kay, who embodies the principles of living life to the fullest. The graphic image of Kay as a tattooed woman on a

motorcycle perfectly captures the “wide open-throttle” approach to winemaking and was an apt representation of the new brand.Ultimately, whether one explores the image, philosophy or the wine itself, if you see kay is about freedom—being true to one’s beliefs and dispensing with conventional thinking and boundaries. And, if necessary, kick-starting a little controversy along the way.

Enjoy the ride, Kay is!

SURRENDER YOUR INHIBITIONS. Take kay to your next dinner party and watch her turn heads and become the center of conversation.
