He is in the middle of the wine bottling from the 2014 crop and that’s pretty much 24/7.  He will finish Friday, Aug. 21, get in his car with wife Lee and drive like a maniac to make it to the Reunion!

Our winery and home rest on land that has been in Lee’s family, the Henderlongs, since 1927. Her cousins, the Saini family, run the vineyard. In addition to the estate Zinfandel, Carignane, Cabernet and Merlot vineyard, two other local growers, Bernier Farms and Hopkins River Ranch, provide Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a smile and a handshake.
