Cline Family Cellars\nis a family-owned and operated winery in Sonoma, California, built on a passion\nfor winemaking and rooted in respect for the land. Fred Cline started Cline\nFamily Cellars in 1982 in Oakley, California, making his first vintages from\noriginal plantings of Mourvedre, Zinfandel, and Carignane, some of which dated\nback to the 1880’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1989, Fred\npurchased a 350-acre horse farm in Carneros and moved the winery to Sonoma\nCounty. As one of the original Rhone Rangers, he began planting varietals that\nincluded a number of vineyards dedicated to Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and\nRoussanne. Since those first plantings, Fred and his wife Nancy have continued\nto expand their love of wine and native grapes by partnering with wineries\nacross the globe, such as Olianas from Sardinia. A fully bio-sustainable\nwinery, the Olianas wines are \ntraditionally produced from native grapes in Sardinia, and are farmed\ncompletely Bio-integrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuisine prepared by Chef\nBob Peterson, this menu is perfect for the season at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
