The Tradition
When the chilly winter weather and dormant vines offered time and opportunity to gather together, Jack and Dolores Cakebread opened their namesake cellar to friends and family for the annual Open House.
Through the generations, on this day, we celebrate our philosophy as etched by our inspiring leaders: Quality wine brings good food and great company together around the table.
