El Dorado
"The Goldbud Philosophy"
The main feature of our El Dorado Vineyards is the high elevation, mountain fruit. The soils are volcanic red with good drainage and are farmed by Ron Mansfield, who has a degree from our Alma Matter UC Davis in Renewable Agriculture. He is a “sunlight into the canopy” guru owns and operates the very successful Goldenbud Farms - a fresh market produce company. Ron knows how to grow fruit, but most importantly when it’s ripe! Our fruit is always delivered as cosmetically stunning as the fruit is expressive. Our Red Dirt Red is our short out to Chateauneuf du Pape, while our Cabernet Franc a salute to Chinon.

VINUM CELLARS
2007 PETS, Petite Sirah
"Two labels stood out from the pack when the bags came off in our blind tasting, including the PETS bottling from Vinum. "Pets" is an old nickname of Petite Sirah, and the bold black- and red-lettered label states that a portion of the profits from the sale of this wine will be donated to a San Francisco SPCA animal-shelter fund."
