While we will continue vineyard development, our commitment to preserving the natural setting for its indigenous occupants will never change. That commitment goes to the core of who we are. In fact, it is so important to us that we are proactively teaching others to value nature, too. Every year, as part of the Acorn Soupe program, students from nearby schools visit the ranch to harvest acorns. A local nursery then grows the seeds into oak trees that are planted back on the ranch the following year.

At Six Sigma Ranch, Kaj applies his energy to doing things the "right" way to make a world-class wine. It began with the selection of land that would sustain vineyards at 1400-1700 feet altitude, providing the perfect terroir for excellent wines. On the ranch, the site for each vineyard is chosen with care - matching specific soils to specific varieties. The vineyards are farmed using sustainable practices - yielding grapes of pristine quality while preserving the land for generations to come.

As he is learning the trade of grapegrowing and winemaking, Kaj makes sure to surround himself with a team of people who are experts, each in his or her field.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
