My grandfather, along with his father and sons, produced wine for the gold miners of Amador County. Their winery and vineyards were located just a few miles east of Jackson. Prohibition shut down the operation forever. In the 1970s and 1980s, my father, my sons, and I planted vineyards in Shenandoah Valley. We currently have eighty acres of vineyards bordering the south fork of the Cosumnes River on hillsides with elevations ranging from 1,500 feet to 1,700 feet. __Aspects are generally west and southwest, the soil is deep decomposed granite, and the vines receive approximately thirty inches of rain each year. We are proud of how we tend this prime wine grape growing land. __Steiner Road is an area rich in historical value, being a social center for the Shenandoah Valley in previous centuries. One neighbor keeps the oldest Zinfandel vines in California. Another cares for the vines that made Zinfandel and White Zinfandel popular in the 1900s. We created a sweet red zinfandel named Zinetta from clones of these old vines. And last, the Primitivo vines on our land are changing the market's perception of Zinfandel in the modern era. __Click here to continue to the next page.
