Delete No evidence of notability. No sources given at all (except link to company's own website). Web searches provide abundant links to the company's own site and various promotional sites, but a lack of significant independent coverage. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge to Trinchero Family Estates after unredirecting it from Sutter Home Winery. If I understand it correctly, Trinchero Family Estates is the parent company of Sutter Home and other smaller area vineyards such as Folie à Deux. There's at least enough coverage to justify inclusion somewhere, and google is likely incomplete in coverage of specialty publications that cover this sort of thing.

 * Neutral The winery is notable with their Menage a Trois series being named Wine Brand of the Year by leading wine industry analysts. And there are plenty of other WP:RS that could be found as well. I'm neutral at the moment because I think Jfire's idea of merging into Trinchero Family Estates may be the most worthwhile but someone needs to do the grunt work of turning that redirect into a full fledge article. (Something I personally don't have the time for). Just taking the content of the Folie a Deux article, as is, and moving it over to Trinchero Family Estates without greater content and context in that article wouldn't make sense. If someone took the initiative and fashioned a full fledged Trinchero article, I would switch my sentiments to wholeheartedly supporting that position. AgneCheese/Wine 21:19, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article is merely a vehicle for publicity for an otherwise non-notable entity. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:39, 9 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Keep or merge Based on the coverage and the accolade of " Wine Brand of the Year", this is notable enough for inclusion. Whether it should be kept as is, or merged is something for our expert wine editors to decide. The sources provided by other commenters address the nom's concerns. - Mgm|(talk) 12:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This is one of my favorite wine labels and is widely distributed, at least in California. So I have expanded the article (did you know that one of their wines was the top-selling red wine in the country in 2009?) and added references. Please take another look and see if the article now passes muster. --MelanieN (talk) 08:02, 15 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN
