"Partly in an effort to combat such stereotypes, Momtazi honors the pre-Islamic culture by carrying on the ancient farming traditions he learned during his youth in Iran. Additionally, many of the wines produced in his soil have Persian names. Cyrus, Arsheen, Delara are all wines available from the Maysara. The Momtazis also call one of their offerings Jamsheed – for the legendary Persian king whose magical wine goblet, the Jaam-e Jam, revealed the world to the beholder of its contents."

A newer vintage from Maysara is, unusually, named ‘Immigrant.’ It’s a 2015 pinot noir, and it’s the Momtazis’ contribution to a cause that is close to home. A third of the sales of ‘Immigrant’ wine go towards refugee and immigrant aid programs. “This wine is dedicated to all immigrants,” reads the description on the Maysara website, “including our own family members who risked their lives to escape and make it to America for the values of freedom and opportunity that this country stands for.” -maysara.com ((@maysarawinery)) .
