The Grace Family Vineyards is a vineyard and winery in Napa, California. It is the first American winery to use the word "family" in its name.[1]
History
The winery began when Ann and Dick Grace planted 1 acre (0.40 ha) of vines in 1976. The first vintage was produced in 1978, at Chuck Wagner's winery, Caymus.[2] A second acre was added in 1985, but phylloxera took its toll, as the winery's vines were planted on non-resistant rootstock.[3] Additional problems with oak root fungus in the original acre caused the need to replant the entirety in 1995.[4] The winery's yield dropped from 350 cases in the[clarification needed] to a low of 48 cases in 1996, when the wine was allocated as one 1-liter bottle per customer on the winery's mailing list. Another acre of planting and re-planted vines in the old acreage brought production up to 150 cases in 1998.[3]
