Well, first there's Bill, then there's Mark, and then there's me, Skippy, Chief Cellar Rat. And there's also various other good friends like Mickey and Ron.

But Bill is the boss. He owns the place and has ever since he founded the winery. His first wine was a 1974 Cabernet Sauvignon, made from Yountville grapes.

He quickly became known for making not only outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons but exquisite Pinot Noirs, which have sometimes been confused with French Burgundy in blind tastings of older wines.

Mark is our wine consultant. He's been with us off and on for many years, and has a lot to do with crafting "the Tulocay style."he winery itself is located in the Coombsville area just east of downtown Napa. This was once an area devoted to horse farms, but now has come into its own for its — relative to most of Napa Valley — uniquely cool grape growing climate. The Haynes and Rancho Sarco vineyards are located in the Coombsville area.

As Napa Valley wineries go, Tulocay is one of the oldest. It's also one of the smallest. And just in case you're wondering, it doesn't have any trams, fancy tours, or gift shops. And, oh yeah... It's NOT owned by a mega international corporation

We do, however, offer tastings and our own "down home" style of tour — just like Napa Valley used to be in the old days before it became Beverly Hillsified. And you're even welcome to have a lunch here on our picnic table under the giant oak in the front patio. The only requirement is to give Bill a call in advance so he can make sure he's around. Fair enough?
