 Storybook
Mountain Vineyards - Climate - in the broad context
of temperature, precipitation, prevailing wind and storm patterns
as well as exposure to the sun - is of crucial importance
for optimum fruit development and thus the quality of a vineyard.
Storybook Mountain is located at the top of the Napa Valley,
on an eastern slope of the Mayacamas Range whose ridges separate
Napa from Sonoma. This gives us the desired eastern exposure,
an orientation we share with many of the greatest vineyards
in Bordeaux and Burgundy. Adequately warm weather for ripening
is rarely a problem in the Napa Valley - and certainly not
for us. Open to the morning sun and providing an oblique angle
to the hot afternoon sun for a growing day of even temperature,
an easterly exposure helps avoid both the heat spikes and
heat accumulation that can occur on a late summer afternoon.

 Schramsberg
- Hugh Davies, President and Winemaker of Schramsberg, is
devoted to carrying on his parent's vision: to create America's
premier sparkling wines. His passion for constant refinement
of vineyard sources and winemaking techniques is captured
in each bottle. Our small winery spares no effort to create
the complex bouquet, refreshing acidity and depth of flavors
found in the finest of sparkling wines. Schramsberg grapes
are sourced from 80 cool-climate vineyards located in four
counties. In a century-old tradition rarely practiced today,
the winemakers use barrel fermentation and barrel aging in
the creation of our sparkling wines. After bottling, the wines
are hand-stacked and hand-riddled in our historic Diamond
Mountain caves. Our releases have been heralded as some of
the best sparkling wines available in the world.

 von
Strasser Winery is located in the Diamond Mountain
region of the Napa Valley nestled between the towns of St.
Helena and Calistoga. Diamond Mountain is situated in the
Valley's western Mayacamas mountain range. Althought outwardly
an inhospitable place for agriculture to take root, Diamond
Mountain has long been known for producing some of the Napa
Valley's most concentrated red wine. In fact, viticulture
and wine making in the region dates back to at least the 1860's.
As a champion of this rich heritage, in 1999 Rudy von Strasser
spearheaded a committee of fellow property owners to petition
the BATF to acknowledge Diamond Mountain as an official American
Viticultural Area. In May 2001, Rudy's efforts came to fruition:
"Diamond Mountain District" was declared as a unique
AVA.
