Living in Germany and The Netherlands presented incredible opportunities for travel and they took advantage of them whenever possible. Their love of wine began in Germany where wines from all over Europe were plentiful and reasonably priced. There were not many bargains available in Germany but wine, beer and cut flowers were the best deals they’d ever seen. Their exposure to good wine increased with every vacation and weekend get-a-way to Italy, Spain, France and Portugal.

Thoughts of retirement lead to thoughts of home. For Bill, who graduated from Napa High in 1963, the Napa Valley was a logical choice. While he only lived in the Napa Valley during his senior year of high school, his family lived in the area for ten years and he returned again and again during college vacations and military leaves. When they began speaking about and dreaming about growing grapes, the Napa Valley called out to them. They have never looked back and are so very thankful they answered the call.

Celia currently consults for a limited selection of ultra-premium Napa Valley clients, primarily with their own estate vineyards, and produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Chardonnay. Vineyard sources include Yountville hillsides, Mt. Veeder, Atlas Peak, Howell Mountain and Carneros, in addition to benchland locations from St. Helena to Napa.
In October 2008, Celia was named Winemaker of the Year by Food and Wine Magazine. Celia has been honored with The Rising Star Award from the Southern California Chapter of Women for Winesense, and has been admitted to the Winemakers Hall of Fame by the U.S. national chapter of the same organization.
