	La Crema was founded in 1979 and quickly established itself as a pioneer for intensely flavored Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from cool climate. Continuing this tradition, La Crema pursues the ultimate expression of the Russian River Valley, Carneros and Anderson Valley by handcrafting wines of distinctive flavor which achieve elegance and balance. The La Crema Winery itself is not open to the public, however we encourage you to visit our beautiful new Tasting Room located at 235 Healdsburg Ave, Healdsburg, California - the heart of Sonoma County Wine Country.
	From the Sonoma Coast to the Sierra Foothills, Highway 12 explores six world class wine regions and a viticultural heritage dating back to 1825. Of particular pride to us is the Sonoma Valley and Carneros District. This is where we live and where we make our great Highway 12 wine. We’re especially proud of our tasting room on the plaza here in downtown Sonoma (in the southeast corner of the plaza). It was only one block to our north in 1825 that padres of the Sonoma Mission planted the first vineyard in what would become California’s Highway 12 Wine Corridor. With the arrival of Highway 12 Wines on the Plaza, the significance of that historic planting has come full circle.

	LUNA has been a longtime sponsor of Barb's Race, an all women's half distance race. Clif Bar & Company started on a bike ride. Our founder, Gary, took a bite of yet another energy bar and thought to himself, “I can do better.” Two years later, CLIF Bar was launched and soon became the leading energy bar. As much as we loved the original, many of the women here at Clif Bar & Company were in search of a bar more suited for us — something just as flavorful and satisfying, but smaller and with fewer calories. And, we wanted this bar to address our unique nutritional needs. So we put our minds and taste buds to work to create something delicious and nutritious. In 1999 we launched LUNA. It was an immediate hit with active women who wanted something that tastes good and is good for them.
	From 1991 until today, athletes the world over have come to the same conclusion: GU works.

In 2001, GU Electrolyte Brew (formerly Gu₂o) was launched as the perfect hydration companion to GU Energy Gel. 2008 saw the introduction of Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel, followed by Chomps Energy Chews and GU Recovery Brew in 2009. Every product is formulated to further GU’s mission: to help athletes go faster and longer than ever before.
