Our Story
Welcome to Bookshelf Wines
What’s in a name: Bookshelf Wines…
We are Niles and Sheila Fleege. In selecting a name for our label, we came to the determination that something with books would be appropriate because reading and books have been so important in our lives and careers.
We started our wine adventure in 2003 making homemade wine from grapes from the Sierra Foothills, Sonoma and Napa Valleys. We started Bookshelf Wines in 2015 growing, producing and bottling small batch quality wines. Our wines are made in the heart of California Gold Discovery Country. We are a bit different than your normal winery…. we do not have a tasting room and we make only 300-400 cases a year.
Quality Wines at a value price! Not easy to do.
‘Like a good book, we hope you enjoy our vintages!”

Posted: May 06, 2020Read MoreHello all.
We hope you are healthy and beginning to enjoy our nice, sunny weather. We are well and getting out to the vineyard!
May Update: The vines are growing like crazy and looking healthy. They are thriving in the sunshine and loved the recent rains. In addition to working on the vines, we have been bottling wines and making summer plans. We are tucking shoots under the wires...its a never-ending process!
Out of respect for no large party requirements due to COVID 19, we cancelled our scheduled June 13 Spring Party. All is not lost however. We have made plans for smaller gatherings in the vineyard where we can be distant but together. We have worked out a process for product sampling with minimal human contact required. We are featuring some picnic specials wine packages.
We are invitation/appointment only; don't miss your opportunity to visit a unique part of the county.

Posted: April 01, 2020Categories: EventsRead MoreHello All. We wanted to reach out during this current crisis to find out how you all are doing. We'd also like to update you on some website changes we've made over the past few weeks. New website, same address, slightly different look and feel, more robust. The catalog shows retail price for our wines. During our current crisis, we've lowered our prices to club prices, $21.00/bottle (limit of 3 bottles for 2015 Zinfandel). Call, text or email us to get this price as you won't see it on the website. Phone (530) 400-7654 or email bookshelfwines2@gmail.com. Stay safe and healthy! Niles and Sheila
