[9] [11] The company was launched with $10,000 and an initial partnership with Sonoma Wine Company and vintner David Eliot to create its wine. [9] The company's first wine, a 2005 merlot, sold 8,000 bottles in its first year. [12] [13]

Mama D's Italian Kitchen, a local restaurant in Newport Beach, California, became OneHope Wine's first commercial account in 2007. [14] Albertsons started carrying OneHope Wine in 2008. [11] Young's Market Company became the company's first distributor in 2009. [14]

Robert Mondavi Jr., owner and president of Folio Fine Wine Partners, became the company's winemaker in 2010. [15] OneHope Wine's partnership with the Mondavi family began when OneHope vice president of sales and co-founder Sarah McPeake met Michael Mondavi, father of Robert Jr., at a wine tradeshow.
