Amador County – The Oliveto Distributing Company based in Sutter Creek announced on Thursday that it will be taking over ownership of all Stevenot (STEVE-NO) wine operations in Amador and Calaveras counties. Stevenot operations include the Stevenot Main Street Tasting Room, 458 Main Street in Murphys, as well as the Stevenot Wine Club. The long-standing distribution company, co-owned by brothers David and Jon Oliveto, has distributed Stevenot wines since the early 1980s. Stevenot wines were the vision of Barden Stevenot. “We are very honored and excited to have this opportunity,” says David Oliveto. “Stevenot has always been a quality brand, well known in the community and has always sold very well.” Some of the Oliveto brothers many plans for their newly acquired operation include a remodel of the tasting room, which will also transform into a wine bar on select Friday nights featuring award-winning Stevenot wines by the glass including its signature Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. They will also bring back Chuck Hovey as the official Stevenot winemaker after his departure in 2007 to start Hovey Wine Consulting. “It’s all about quality,” said Jon, adding: “We have been in the distribution business all of our lives, and now we want to also have a new focus on wine production.” Stevenot is considered one of Calaveras County’s premiere wineries since the first vineyard planted in 1974 and the first vintage released in 1978. Oliveto Distributing Company began as a milk distribution business in the late 1960s in Sutter Creek and opened up a wine division in the early 1980s.The company was honored with the Miller Masters award in the early ‘90s, placing them in the top seven distributors in the United States. “It surprises us how excited people are about our new venture,” Jon said. “We are receiving overwhelming support.” A TSPN TV Report This email address is being protected from spambots.
