HEALDSBURG, Calif., (Oct. 21, 2025) – Smith Story Wine Cellars announces a new partnership with LibDib, expanding statewide access for restaurant and retail buyers across California. The 2024 Smith Story Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma County is the first wine available via the LibDib platform and a beloved wine especially for Sancerre and Pouilly Fume enthusiasts.

“Eric and I have been self-distributing (make the wine, sell the wine, deliver the wine) in California for over five years now. It’s time to expand and direct-to-account distribution allows our small family winery to grow directly with our fine wine accounts across the Golden State,” says Ali Smith Story, Co-Founder. “LibDib has been on our radar for a while now. Our DTC customers across California are incredible Smith Story ambassadors, to make our wine available in their local wine shops and restaurants is a true pleasure and a win-win for all. We’ve also built strong relationships close to home, partnering with LibDib allows us to be present in regions outside of Sonoma, Napa and Marin Counties”.

Smith Story celebrates its twelfth harvest this year, producing small-lot wines from family-farmed vineyards across Sonoma and Mendocino AVAs. Smith Story highly-acclaimed wines focus on sustainable and organic family farming practices and wines that balance authenticity, elegance, and joy.

The new partnership with LibDib enables Smith Story to grow organically, reaching more fine-wine accounts throughout California while maintaining its independent spirit. Access Smith Story Wine Cellars on LibDib for details and to purchase.
