The Shenandoah Valley: nestled in the Sierra Nevada Foothills is a beautiful valley of rolling hills and meandering streams. This majestic place is where gold was discovered back in the 1850's. Italian farmers came to this valley during the Gold Rush with the precious grapes of their homeland. Some of these 100+ year-old vines are still producing in Amador County- California's oldest red grape growing region. My wife, Maggie and I fell in love with the region when we began our search for "Grape land". In 1986 we were lucky to find and procure 40 luscious acres of land in the Shenandoah Valley, and I started to fulfill my dream of becoming a premier wine grape grower. With the help of UC Davis courses in viticulture and enology, I learned what was needed in order to produce excellent grapes. Soon after I bought the land, I planted Zinfandel, Syrah, Barbera and Viognier grapes. I have combined the latest growing techniques with "TLC" to produce consistent, high quality grapes for excellent wines. We are excited about sharing our wines with new and old friends and hope you will try some Wilderotter Wines.

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.
