Remember When...Sunny St. Helena Winery

Sunny St. Helena winery dates back to the 1930's and is called Merryvale Winery today. It's located on Main Street right across from Gott's Roadside and produces beautiful wines (including one of my all time favorites called Profile). In the late 1930's Ceasare Mondavi (father of Robert

and Peter) became a partner of this winery and the family had a home on this property. In 1951 this home was moved to what is now the Redmon Ranch on Dowdell Lane in St. Helena to be the main residence. . When my family purchased the property on Dowdell Lane, the date and story about the house being moved was carved in the cement. We love this house and all the history that came along with it!!
