Wine Country's Newest Tasting Room Highlights One of California's Most Forgotten Grapes
One October night, two harvests ago, I pulled off a country road in Santa Rosa to observe what I thought would be a typical grape pick. The first surprise was arriving at someone’s home. The second was that, instead of long rows of vines, there was just a small patch of land planted intermittently with what looked like large bushes.
A handful of volunteers, donning headlamps and bent over the bushes at uncomfortable angles,
rummaged around until they finally located and plucked the treasure within: chartreuse-colored clusters of grapes. The mangled bushes were actually vines, planted in 1902 at the Betty Ann Vineyard. The group’s ringleader, the now-68-year-old winemaker Greg La Follette, co-founder of Marchelle Wines, believes they’re the oldest French Colombard vines in North America.

One of California’s most celebrated winemakers just opened a Healdsburg tasting room
When Greg La Follette learned that the lease on his winery building would not be renewed, the longtime winemaker was glum — but hopeful.
For nearly 25 years, La Follette had made wine at the Sebastopol location, first for Tandem Wines, then for La Follette Wines and, most recently, Marchelle Wines.
Granted, the front door — tucked behind a maze of agricultural buildings along Gravenstein Highway — was never particularly easy for customers to find. Nor did the production-focused space lend itself to lounging, despite the brand’s linger-worthy wines.
