Two tenacious families joined together and have been working at this dream for 156 years! After becoming a huge success, phylloxera destroyed everything! After rebounding they rose to the top again! In 1906 the San Francisco Earthquake and fires destroyed over 1 million gallons of their wine, almost everything! Despite losing the patriarch of the family- they kept going! Comfortably at the top again in 1918, prohibition destroyed everything! Some family members were ready to quit in 1933 when the news of the repeal came about. Others quietly tried to rise to the top again. In 1969 the family was on board again, and all new root stocks were planted. Since then, theyve come back to the top. Theyre award winning wines are available internationally, and some of the best juice Ive had the pleasure of tasting! We have brought their winery, and their amazing story back to our wine list! Come and taste the fruits of over 150 years of trials, tribulations, devastation, success, awards, and most importantly unfaltering passion! 2010 Estate Cabernet is available now for $85!
