The vineyard consists of thirteen acres of Rhone varietals. At
2,200 foot elevation the vineyard is perfectly situated, above the
valley fog, for growing excellent Rhones. These
types of grapes show high promise in the foothills. Samples of wine
made from these grapes are available to serious and qualified
buyers. Please see the
San Francisco Chronicle for an article on Rhones in the
