This winery dates to 1980 and is known as the home of the annual California Wine Tasting Championships held every year since 1983. The winery's tasting room on Highway 128 is a valley landmark and can be easily spotted by the colorful flags waving in the breeze at the entrance and the large solar panels on the roof and next to to the winery. The wines are bottled with a unique etched design on the front instead of a label. Small amounts of Pinot Noir are made from the winery's vineyard on Mendocino Ridge and is sold on the website. The Pinot Noir is consistently fine, reasonably priced and sells out yearly.
