The Grace Family Vineyards is a vineyard and winery in Napa, California. It is the first American winery to use the word "family" in its name.[1]

History

The winery began when Ann and Dick Grace planted {{convert|1|acre|ha}} of vines in 1976. The first vintage was produced in 1978, at Chuck Wagner's winery, Caymus.[2] A second acre was added in 1985, but phylloxera took its toll, as the winery's vines were planted on non-resistant rootstock.[3] Additional problems with oak root fungus in the original acre caused the need to replant the entirety in 1995.[3] The winery's yield dropped from 350 cases in the{{clarify|date=August 2012}} to a low of 48 cases in 1996, when the wine was allocated as one 1-liter bottle per customer on the winery's mailing list. Another acre of planting and re-planted vines in the old acreage brought production up to 150 cases in 1998.[4]

Charity

{{Importance section|date=July 22, 2012}}

The winery's mission statement is "Wine as a catalyst towards healing our planet." The programs of the Grace Family Vineyards Foundation are primarily in India, Nepal, Mexico, Tibet, and America.[1]

Grace Family wines has been involved with the Naples Winter Wine Festival since its first year in 2001. In 2006, a 12-liter Balthazar of 2003 Grace Family Cabernet drew $90,000 (${{formatprice|{{Inflation|US|90000|2006}}}} in {{Inflation-year|US}} dollars{{inflation-fn|US}}) in bids at the festival's charity auction.[5] For the 2012 charity auction, a Balthazar of both Grace Family and their second label, Blank, drew a $160,000 (${{formatprice|{{Inflation|US|160000|2012}}}} in {{Inflation-year|US}} dollars{{inflation-fn|US}}) bid.[6]

Vineyard and winemaking

The Grace Family properties are organic and biodynamically farmed.[1]

Gary Galleron was head winemaker between 1988 and 1995, when Heidi Peterson Barrett took over winemaking duties.[3] Barrett, in turn, turned over duties to Gary Brookman.[2]
