Silver Pines Vineyards are located at the western edge of the Sonoma Mountain appellation at approximately 980 feet above sea level, and are surrounded by proven premium vineyards (map). Additionally, we are also on the north-facing slopes of the new Bennett Valley AVA. The climate, soil, and water supply are ideal for the three varietals grown on the 12-acre site: Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Pinot Noir. The local Bennett Valley climate is unique, with warm sunny days moderated by an ocean breeze that travels through the Petaluma gap and enters the valley through the Grange Road gap. Late night and early morning fog is common, coming either from the west or from the south through the Carneros and southern Sonoma Valley.

La Follette's wines have been served at the White House at several state events, including to 44 Heads-of-State at the NATO 50th Anniversary. Additionally, he has been asked by the U.S. State Department to represent the United States in goodwill efforts abroad to improve winemaking practices in other countries. He is also serving as consulting, designing winemaker for the new UC Davis teaching winery.Greg has turned his attentions to vineyard & winery consulting internationally. He has designed/redesigned 14 wineries worldwide and is involved in projects in South Africa, Chile and Australia. These efforts have resulted in the awarding in 2003 of #1 White Wine of the year in Chile and for two years in a row the #1 Pinot Noir in South Africa, as voted by each of these countries’ own vintners associations.
