Linda Donovan has been passionate about winemaking since she started her degree in fermentation science (UC Davis) in 1990. While working her "way up" in Napa and on the true Sonoma coast, Linda explored many wine growing regions around the world. After a stint in Western Australia (Margaret River), Linda chose to pioneer the Rogue Valley in 2001. "At that time, there were 5 wineries here, and no one was growing the varietals I wanted to make" said Linda. So she planted them (Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignane).

Finnegan Donovan is our loyal and friendly Canine Tasting Room Ambassador. When he's not doing doggy yoga, he enjoys long walks in the woods with Linda, playing fetch and lying in the sun. If you see him on his pillow, feel free to give him some belly rubs- he won't say no!
