Four JG's Orchards & Vineyards is a winery in Colts Neck in Monmouth County, New Jersey.[2][3] The vineyard was first planted in 1999, and opened to the public in 2004.[4][5] Four JG's has 40 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produces 2,500 cases of wine per year.[6][7] The winery is named after the four family members that own it, all of whom have the initials "JG."[8][9]
Wines
Four JG's produces wine from Cabernet Franc, Cayuga White, Chambourcin, Chardonnay, Vidal blanc, and Vignoles (Ravat 51) grapes.[10][11] The winery was a participant at the Judgment of Princeton, a wine tasting organized by the American Association of Wine Economists that compared New Jersey wines to premium French vintages.[12][13] Four JG's is not located in one of New Jersey's three viticultural areas.[10]
Education, licensing, and associations
The winery assisted Monmouth University in creating an on-campus vineyard and winemaking program.[6] Four JG's has a farm winery license from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which allows it to produce up to 50,000 gallons of wine per year, operate up to 15 off-premises sales rooms, and ship up to 12 cases per year to consumers in-state or out-of-state.[14][15] The winery is a member of the Garden State Wine Growers Association and the Outer Coastal Plain Vineyard Association.[16][17]
