OUR STORY
Sam Brown Wine is more than a label—it’s a movement. Founded by Samual Nathaniel Brown, a formerly incarcerated advocate turned entrepreneur, the brand unites world‑class winemaking with a groundbreaking social mission.
At 19, Samual was sentenced to life in prison. Over 24 years, he rebuilt himself through education, leadership, and the creation of programs that transformed lives behind bars. Paroled in 2021, he carried that conviction into the wine industry, determined to prove that everyone deserves a second chance.
Partnering with the historic Rancho Arroyo Grande Vineyards and guided by Kathleen Kim and Master Wine Maker James Sparks, Sam Brown Wine produces premium wines rooted in sustainability and excellence. But it's true innovation lies in second‑chance hiring—actively employing and empowering formerly incarcerated individuals at every level of the business.
Each bottle represents more than fine craftsmanship; it embodies redemption, hope, and the belief that quality can arise from unlikely places. With every pour, Sam Brown Wine invites you to join a movement where luxury meets purpose.
Our motto: Intoxicating with Opportunities
WHY IT MATTERS
This model is unique because it intentionally includes system-impacted people in viticulture, hospitality, and distribution—areas where they have historically been excluded. Sam Brown Wine increases inclusivity, builds industry pathways, normalizes emotional literacy, and returns funds to the community rather than extracting value.
SAM'S STORY
Samual Nathaniel Brown turned his lived experience into a vision of transformation. Where wine is often seen as luxury, he saw a chance to blend craftsmanship with compassion. Sam Brown Wine is the world’s first brand built on second‑chance employment and emotional literacy—every bottle carrying not just flavor, but dignity and opportunity.
Rooted in legacy yet reaching toward new beginnings, the vineyard empowers justice‑impacted individuals to rewrite their futures. For Sam, wine is more than a product; it’s a movement proving that elegance and empathy can coexist, and that second chances can change the world.
