The inspiration behind the name came to Ron Rubin when he was driving to his winery on Route 116 outside Sebastopol, CA. He noticed all the blue recycling bins out on the road ready for pickup that day. As Ron and his team were exploring alternative bottles to combat the waste from traditional wine bottles, they discovered they could make a 100% rPET bottle, knowing that the blue bins are where all the recycled material comes from to produce rPET. “Blue Bin” felt like the perfect name. 

At River Road Family Vineyards and Winery, we take pride in delivering premium, sustainable wine, whether bottled in our 100% recycled bottles or glass. The package may differ, but the wine is the same quality; light, bright, and delicious.
