About The Vineyard
This is affectionately called the winery’s “Front Yard Zin”. the grapes were planted in the later 1800’s in the front of our house on Olivet Road. This vineyard was ripped out and replanted by the next owner, giving you the opportunity to add a few more cherished bottles to your cellar.
