Frequently Asked Questions

  • Where are you located?

    • We are located in Sonoma, CA with production at the Heirs Wine Collective located at 22985 A Burndale Road. Visiting the winery and tastings are by Appointment ONLY. We also are starting tastings in and around Coronado, CA, the home of Figjam owners - Bev and Jeff.

  • Who is your winemaking team?

    • Juan Puentes

  • Why did you start Figjam Estate Winery?

    • The winery was born from Bev and Jeff’s mutual love for combining creativity, art, wine and giving back to those less fortunate. We are a family based winery creating a legacy through hard work and our passion for wine.

  • What is ‘Wishes from Wine’?

    • Giving Back is a big part of our lives and, to that end, we provide a portion of all our sales to deserving charitable organizations. Our emphasis is on Military Families and Veterans, but we also support various local causes.

  • What does the name ‘Figjam’ represent?

    • F I G J A M is an acronym originating in the Southern Hemisphere, used to depict ‘Best In Class, but with a bit of Irreverence’. It loosely relates to the American acronym G O A T, meaning Greatest of All Time. While there are more than a few FIGJAM explanations, a popular version is “F I’m Good Just Ask Me!”

    • We feel that our wines fit this description as we strive to create the best wines we can from sourcing quality grapes, hand crafting small lot production and adding a large dose of heart and soul!!

    • Google says: “It is usually exclaimed after some act that the person would consider to be a triumph like scoring a goal or a kick, but others think of as some sort of show-off . . .”

  • So, you don’t live in Sonoma - how do you manage to run the winery remotely?

    • Although we are not permanent residents, we do spend significant time there. We also rely on a great team to source our grapes, produce our wines, bottle and fulfill orders. When we are in town we host special events and promote our JAMMER Wine Club.

  • You don’t have a tasting room, so where do I buy your wines?

    • We are working on finding that ‘Just Right’ spot for our tasting room. In the meantime you can purchase our wines directly from our Web Site or by contacting Bryan Jakus - our Director of Sales.

    • Also, we are hosting wine tasting events at our home in Coronado, CA -please CONTACT us for additional information.
