History
The Charles F. Shaw winery started as a company in the Napa Valley American Viticultural Area. The original label went out of business, and the name was sold to the Bronco Wine Company. Though they produce their wine in Ceres, California, they are able to label their bottles with "Napa County," as they own a bottling facility in Napa. The company has since taken advantage of the name recognition and has not only delivered an affordable option for connoisseurs, but also an award winning wine. -
