00 Wines began in 2015 with Mark Tarlov, Chris Herman, and Kathryn Herman. However, its history goes deeper. Chris's grandparents, Freya and Richard Herman, moved from Munich to Oregon in the 1950s. Richard, a botanist and wine collector, introduced Chris to the world of wine at a young age. Chris's early years in Corvallis shaped his worldview, and after schooling in New England and travels in Europe, he pursued a law degree in Eugene, understanding the intricacies of the wine industry.

Chris and his 90-year-old father, Richard, started their wine label, focusing on Pinot and Chardonnay, drawing inspiration from their German heritage and love for music. The name "00 Wines" symbolizes the journey from vine to bottle and represents a blend of the Old World and the New World.

Kathryn Herman is a vital part of 00 Wines. Despite not having a wine background, her relationship with Chris led to plans for transforming 00 Wines into a global luxury brand. The duo's contrasting approaches, with Chris's traditional methods and Kathryn's modern techniques, complement each other. Kathryn's collaboration with Liviri exemplifies her commitment to delivering the best wine experience to customers.

Wynn Peterson-Nedry, the winemaker, is a second-generation expert who grew up around vineyards and has a deep passion for wine. She balances her professional life with motherhood, showing immense dedication and strength. The team also includes Pierre Millemann, a consultant from Burgundy, who introduced the "Black Chardonnay" method to the winery. The journey of 00 Wines is a testament to passion, heritage, innovation, and collaboration.
