Las Jaras Wines is a California winery run by winemaker Joel Burt and comedian Eric Wareheim, who make the wines together. Their first wine was a 2015 Sweet Berry Wine, and the winery took shape with the 2016 vintage. The grapes come from growers in Mendocino, Sonoma and other parts of California, with Oregon for Pinot Noir, and nearly all of those vineyards are farmed organically, certified or not.

Slipper Sippers is the first wine Las Jaras makes each vintage, in the spirit of Nouveau reds. The 2026 blends 60% Zinfandel and 40% Petite Sirah from organically farmed old vines. The Zinfandel rested in tank and the Petite Sirah spent one month in barrel. It is a dry red at 13.2% alcohol, and 1,000 cases were made.
