Awards & Honors:

GOLD MEDAL, Sonoma County Harvest Fair, 2007.

The Winemaker:

“The remarkable 2005 Vintage brought more grapes than my folks had expected. Long time Sonoma County grape growers, Barbara and Dick Schneider scurried to find a home for their ultra-premium wine grapes. Ultimately, they convinced me to help out right in the middle of the harvest. What has come of this venture is our new brand Kelley Creek Wines. Kelley Creek is a small tributary that flows through the Schneider’s property and into Dry Creek. Western Dry Creek Valley has amazing hillside and benchland vineyards, diverse micro-climates and rich personalities that have eveloped this slice of California like no other wine region in the world.”
Scott Lindstrom-Dake, Wine maker
