We planted the family's first vineyard in 1998 on a 50 acre parcel approximately 3 miles west / southwest of downtown Lodi, California. Evening Delta breezes cool the area during our warm summers producing fully ripened wine grapes known for their balanced tannin structures, fruitiness and ample acidity.
The vineyard is managed by Jim Grady III, a Fresno State viticulture graduate. Wine making started in 2001. After several successful vintages and a Silver medal at the California State Fair, we decided to begin commercial production. In the spring of 2008, we began distributing our wines throughout the United States.

It has certainly been an interesting year. First a very wet winter and spring brought hail to the vineyards. Summer was more normal with a couple of hot streaks but nothing out of the ordinary until August when we had a prolonged heat spike over 105 for several day in a row. We applied more water to help the crop through the heat wave and things seemed to be getting back to normal, then we had a light unseasonable rain!
Here is a great recipe to enjoy with an abundance of different kinds of squash and tomatoes being harvested. 1/2 c white wine ( I open a bottle of Shenanigans Pinot Grigio and then serve it with the finished product.) Put the ingredients with the exception of the mustard, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until wine has dissipated and mixture becomes thick.
