Schramsberg Vineyards

Schramsberg Vineyards, a historic site, is located in heart of the Napa Valley in Calistoga, California. It was founded by the German immigrant Jacob Schram in 1862. http://www.schramsberg.com/story/jschram.html The winery of Jacob Schram was mentioned in one of Robert Louis Stevenson's books. The wine caves on the site were hand-dug by Chinese laborers. http://gocalifornia.about.com/cs/napasonoma/a/canapaschram.htm In 1965, Jack and Jamie Davies bought the property and changed the emphasis to the production of sparkling wines, for which the winery is renowned. http://www.calwineries.com/explore/wineries/schramsberg-vineyards The winery has won many awards for its sparkling wine, including "Winemakers of the Year," "Winemakers of the Year," the Junipero Serra Award for Excellence, and in 1995 a Lifetime Achievment Award was given by the International Festival of Méthode Champenoise. http://www.google.co.cr/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.schramsberg.com%2Fdocuments%2Fthe_davies_era.pdf&ei=pM-8S9OHHoaKlweA_PGECQ&usg=AFQjCNFqRmIMWEyWrKVkkig10kw_xSRTYg&sig2=X9Sa80-JJwK1tS3zOqpQrQSchramsbery Vineyards also produces a cabernet sauvignon. http://www.napavintners.com/wineries/winery_profile.asp?weblogin=schramsberg
