Fred Buonanno and Heather McKelvey found their dream property high on a ridge in the Anderson Valley region. They purchased 40+ acres in 1999. Some of the property had been planted in 1976 to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot by the original owner, Vernon Rose, of the now defunct Christine Woods Winery. The couple hired vineyardist Norman Koble to supervise planting of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris on the property. They produce about 1,000 cases of multiple red and white varietals, but plan to eventually feature primarily Pinot Noir. Tasting is by appointment on weekends. Wines may be obtained by phoning 707-489-2303 or contacting the owners through the website.
