"High in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Francisco, historic Mount Eden Vineyards makes Chardonnays and Pinot noirs that should be on your short list when searching out values from California. The vineyards of Mount Eden are believed to have the longest continuous history of growing Pinot in the United States." -- Wine Spectator
In 1981, Patterson became assistant winemaker at Mount Eden Vineyards. He had visited the Santa Cruz Mountain winery in 1978 and believed Mount Eden, with its long history of fine wine production, would be an ideal place to practice his craft.
Jeffrey and his wife Ellie, a U.C. Berkeley history graduate, ornamental horticulturist, and textile artist, thus left Berkeley to begin a new life 2,000 feet above the Santa Clara Valley. A little over a year after his arrival, Patterson was promoted to head winemaker and general manager, and Ellie became the winery's business manager. In 1986, they became significant shareholders in the company and, in 1993, Jeffrey became the winery's president.
Today, with over 25 years' experience at California's original boutique winery, Jeffrey and Ellie Patterson live with one of their two children in the house Martin Ray built on Mount Eden in the early 1950s, surrounded by the winery's historic estate vineyard and a panoramic view of the now-famous Silicon Valley.
