Very beautiful country!!
Originally purchased by Gustav Niebaum, a sea captain, the vineyard was named Inglenook. He wanted to produce wines as great as those internationally. He even got clippings from famous overseas vineyards. His wine was a success! At the onset of prohibition, his nephew ran the business. Prohibition did not stop them. They were able to sell their grapes to the next door neighbor who created sacramental wines. The use of sacramental wines went up 140% during prohibition. Later Francis "Frank" Coppola purchased Inglenook under the name of Niebaum-Coppola, but was able to restore the name to Inglenook in 2011.

The vineyard is stunningly beautiful and houses a collection of illuminators on the second floor. There is also a 1949 Tucker, only 51 made in the world. Quite the car before its time!
