Portfolio Tasting: Hook & Ladder Winery

In 1970, San Francisco firefighter Cecil De Loach and his wife Christine staked their claim in the wine grape business by purchasing 24 acres of old-vine Zinfandel in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. In the early seventies, the De Loaches decided to acquire additional vineyard land. For several years they watched others make notable wine from their grapes before making the decision to produce wine under the De Loach label in 1975. More than three decades later, Cecil and Christine sold that label and have continued their winemaking skills at the helm of a small family winery that employs a simple philosophy – craft exceptional wines, from the highest quality grapes, that people love to drink.

On 375 acres situated in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley, these vineyards produce cool climate grapes widely recognized as some of the finest in the world. Cecil's grandson is now the winemaker for Hook & Ladder. 

Join us to taste a selection of Hook & Ladder's wines from their current portfolio with Michael & Lori De Loach.
