Winemaker Spotlight - DeRose Winery
At the DeRose vineyard, winemaking is a family affair and I'm fortunate to call the winemaking team my friends. The DeRose and Cedolini families, whose ancestors have been making wine for over 10 generations, purchased the vineyards and cellars in 1988 along with partner Ernie Miller.  The families revitalized the vineyards, rescuing 100 acres of abandoned vines, including nearly 40 acres planted before 1900.  Winemakers Pat and Al DeRose and assistant wine maker, Ralph Hurd IV, integrate traditional farming methods with contemporary cellar practices to craft award-winning Zinfandel, Negrette, Cabernet Franc and Viognier.
