Rubicon
Estate - founded as Inglenook in 1880, the historic
Rubicon Estate has the honor of being one of the few remaining
family-owned wine estates of this magnitude in existence.
Francis and Eleanor Coppola purchased the property in 1975,
and then spent twenty years restoring it to its original dimensions
by acquiring the famed Inglenook Chateau and its adjacent
vineyards. Today, Rubicon Estate offers a truly unique VIP
guest experience and a level of elegance and personal attention
rarely available at other wineries. Rubicon, the flagship
wine of Rubicon Estate, reflects the unique terroir of this
world-renowned property. Using only 100% organically-farmed
grapes sourced directly from Estate vineyards, Rubicon has
become a role model for Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. Rubicon
is blended primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, which was first
planted on the Estate between 1882 and 1885 by Inglenook founder
Captain Gustave Niebaum. Recently, laboratory analysis verified
that the vineyard clone is indeed the same genetic material
as the vines Niebaum brought back from France in the 1880s.
Because the Niebaum clone - Clone #29 technically speaking
- has been continuously planted here, it is one of California's
most historic and important clones of Cabernet Sauvignon,
and totally unique to Rubicon Estate.

di
Rosa Preserve
- The current di Rosa Preserve is a portion of the original
460 acres of land purchased by Rene di Rosa in 1960. Vineyards
were established in 1855, but the land and building had fallen
into disuse. Phylloxera in the late 19th Century and Prohibition
in the 20th Century did away with the vineyards, and the 1886
stone winery was used for making moonshine, growing mushrooms,
storing grain and hay, and milling. After Rene di Rosa purchased
the acreage, the stone winery was converted into a home and
the land turned from dairy cattle to grapes once again. In
1963, Winery Lake Vineyards was established. Vines eventually
covered some 250 acres and through the years the quality fruit
was sought by over 50 wineries. Seagram purchased the famed
Winery Lake Vineyard in 1986.
Napa
Valley Opera House - The
Napa Valley Opera House was built in 1879 as one of the first
"respectable" venues west of the Mississippi River.
For the latter half of the 19th century, the Napa Valley Opera
House was the cultural center for the region, until the decline
of vaudeville and other pressures forced it to go dark in
1914.The house was nearly destroyed until a few Napa Valley
Opera House devotees spared it from the wrecking ball in the
early 1970s.For the last 15 years, the NVOH has been slowly
restoring itself for a new future through a series of fundraising
challenges, construction activities and visionary plans. The
house came back to life in June 2002 with the opening of the
Cafe Theatre; its historic main hall is expected to reopen
in late summer, 2003, in all of its original splendor.

Marshall's
Farm Honey -
We At Marshall's Farm have a hand-crafted
approach to traditional honey production. Our Beekeeper Spencer
Marshall Harvests small quantities of superior quality gourmet
honey in the very special microclimates of the San Francisco
Bay Area. Spencer searches out locations that support only
a few hives but produce exceptional tasting honeys. The diverse
& constantly changing seasonal blooms of the Bay Area
(Eucalyptus, Star Thistle, Wildflower, Blackberry & others)
produce floral nectars & pollens that differ greatly in
taste, texture & color. Spencer harvests after each bloom,
isolates the honey harvested from each apiary & thus creates
the special flavor nuances & wonderful color variations
in Marshall's Farm delectably delicious honey.
