Realm x TF Design

We believe it takes a lot of great Champagne to produce great Napa Valley Cabernet! Scott first came across Tina Frey’s work down in Orange County during Christmas of 2021. When he learned she was a San Francisco-based artisan, we immediately reached out and visited her studio. Tina says, “A perfectly imperfect object—created with heart and by hand—speaks more to me than a perfectly perfect object.” We wholeheartedly agree. Like Realm wines, Tina’s creations are made with passion, respect for nature and an obsession to get every last detail right. We have been featuring her creations at the Estate for the last two years.

This custom Champagne bucket from TF Design is handmade using food-safe, BPA-free resin. The unique nature of this hand-sculpted piece results in beautiful variations with each item. We chill sparkling, rose and white wines on ice, but also will chill red wines to an optimum pouring temperature of 55-60 degrees Fahrenheit. Tina Frey first produced these custom buckets for us to use at our Estates on Pritchard Hill and Stags Leap District. We then decided to produce 50 more to share with our members in time for the holidays.
