Our Story

It started a Friday night in 2010 Kelly and I went to dinner with Mark Clarin (Winemaker at McGrail Vineyards/Musician.  He gave us some good advice about making wine but a little short on our investment needs, but that's ok now.  We owe a great deal to our friends in the industry: (Burman & Ziganti of the 3 Steves, Jim Frost-Auburn James Winery, Collin Cranor-Nottingham Cellars, & Rhonda Wood-Wood Family Vineyards).  They are responsible for us doing 20 tons of fruit for 2016 and spending a ton of money-  Thanks!-Kidding,  Really its a great ride to be on and we are looking forward to making great wines and representing Livermore.  Please stop by our new tasting room  located at 8953 Tesla Road, Livermore .  Appointments for Thursday-Friday, Saturday and Sundays from (12-5)-Fall-Winter hours .  Thanks for visiting!  

Cheers,

Rick & Kelly Volpatti
