In 2020, Hank and Brenda Klehn, from whom I have leased Fe Ciega since 1998, let me know that they wished to sell the property. I notified my two friends and winemakers, Adam Tolmach and Bill Wathen, who currently purchase Fe Ciega Pinot Noir, about this sale. Adam immediately expressed interest in purchasing it. The sale was concluded in January 2021 and Adam and Helen Tolmach are now the owners of this property. The Klehns, and Diana and I, can’t think of a more appropriate winemaker to take over the stewardship of this vineyard. We feel the legacy this vineyard and its future are in great hands and I look forward to continue working with the grapes from our beloved Fe Ciega Vineyard.
