Almost 25 years ago, in the midst of a successful and respected career as Chief of Neurosurgery at two prominent hospitals in San Francisco, Dr. Thomas Kenefick fell in love with wine country. This love led Dr. Kenefick to the Napa Valley where he became fascinated by the correlation between vine health and the very people he skillfully mended through neurosurgery. In time, he acquired a 125 acre vineyard property at the foothills of the Palisade Mountains in Calistoga. It was here that he would “mend” an average vineyard and transform it into a healthy, super-premium ranch that would meet Napa Valley’s standard.
