Our ancestors came to America over a century ago. They settled in the Santa Clara Valley because the fertile soil and mild climate reminded them of the Italian countryside they left behind.
Most of our relatives from that era became involved in tree crops and the production of high quality dried fruit and nuts. Our two winemaker brothers, Andy and Greg had limited involvement in agriculture. Andy studied Aeronautical Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and has been employed in the aerospace industry since the early 1980s. After majoring in Business Administration at San Diego State, Greg spent 2 decades in high tech at various large Bay Area firms.
