When you hear a name like PlumpJack Wines, it suggests something more than just a label — it’s a story, an attitude and an intertwining of wine culture with the taste for adventure. PlumpJack Wine & Spirits was founded as a small wine store in 1992 in San Francisco. (Its name, borrowed from the placename Lompoc, is a play on Shakespearean bawdiness: Sir John “PlumpJack” Falstaff (or “Plump Jack,” as he was often referred) was earthy and indulgent, and the founders wanted it to reflect that buddy-sozzled-unsober-but-fine spirit.)
