“I realized that you don’t make wine only with your head and your senses. You make wine with your heart.”

1923-2023

Miljenko "Mike" Grgich first gained global acclaim at the famous "Paris Tasting" of 1976. During this historic blind tasting, a panel of esteemed French judges sampled a selection of renowned white Burgundies alongside a few up-and-coming Chardonnays from Napa Valley. When the scores were tallied, the judges were astounded to find that they had chosen the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, crafted by Mike Grgich, as the finest white wine in the world. Mon Dieu! The results shocked the international wine community and instantly cemented Mike's reputation as one of the world’s greatest winemakers.

IIn the early 1980s, while hiking along Oakville's southwestern ridge, H. William Harlan stumbled upon a secluded territory. The hidden expanse—ancient and untamed—left a profound impression on him, but it remained elusive until the Harlan family finally acquired it in 2008. As the second generation explored and worked with the land, they began to uncover its secrets. At the heart of this wild terrain, they discovered a powerful geologic convergence that had shaped its steep, rugged landscape and created the ideal conditions for an extraordinary winegrowing environment. Over time, they realized that this dramatic landscape—just beyond the edge of the known—would not only transform them but also inspire a new venture: Promontory.

In 1965, Jack and Jamie Davies, founders of Schramsberg, sought a simpler, more meaningful life. After a yearlong search, they found a dilapidated winery perched on a mountainside above St. Helena. The 19th-century Victorian mansion stood over neglected gardens and forgotten underground cellars. Though the historic Schramsberg property had been abandoned for years, the Davies were eager for a challenge. On that day, they decided to breathe new life into Schramsberg.

Their ambition was to craft wine—not just any wine, but world-class sparkling wine. It was a bold vision. Later that year, the 1965 Blanc de Blancs was born, marking the first commercial use of Chardonnay in American sparkling wine.

Over 25 years ago, Spain’s oldest winemaking family, Raventós Codorníu, set out for a new adventure in Napa Valley. They discovered a sea-facing hillside in Los Carneros, with rocky soils and a favorable coastal climate—ideal for winemaking.

Here, they planted new roots, building on a 460-year legacy of craftsmanship to create a new generation of estate-grown, artisan wines. In 1991, they launched Codorníu Napa with a mission to produce California’s finest sparkling wine. As the vineyard demonstrated its potential for still wines, the Artesa name was introduced in 1998. Meaning "handcrafted" in Catalan, Artesa has since become a leading producer of distinctive wines from the varietals that thrive in Los Carneros and Napa Valley, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

“At Trefethen, everything is connected. I mean this in both an ecological and a social sense. The land we farm is part of a larger ecosystem that we affect. And the way we approach our work, the mindset we have, ripples out to affect how we treat our employees, receive visitors, and carry ourselves in our community.”
