Dorothy Vassar spent 53 years growing wine grapes in the Redwood Valley area of Mendocino County, and loved working with some of the state’s well-known brands.

 

In 1965, she started a two-acre vineyard with her husband (who died in 2008), and gradually grew it to 18 acres of Zinfandel and 6 acres of Petite Sirah on a 26.3-acre vineyard.

 

Mrs. Vassar said she and her husband enjoyed growing wine grapes for decades.

 

“We had a wonderful time! We sold to Parducci, Weibel, K-J and others. But the best times were with Joel Peterson and Ravenswood! He was perfect!  a joy to work with!”

Time to sell

But Mrs Vassar is 76 years old, and has decided that now is a good time to sell. The decision was influenced by Constellation Brand’s loss of the entire 2018 vintage of her wine.

 

The listing is with Realtor Bud Thompson and Broker Associate Diane Rucker.
