Wine OR Wine & Food

Come meet Peter Franus!  Peter Franus grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in journalism. His increasing passion for wine led him to enroll in the viticulture and enology program at Cal State Fresno in 1978. He worked at Chalone, Veederhills Vineyard (Hess/William Hill) and Chateau St. Jean before going to Mount Veeder Winery in 1981 where he was winemaker until the end of 1992. 

At the same time he worked for Franciscan Vineyards from 1989 through 1992. At Mount Veeder he developed a great love for Zinfandel which the winery produced until 1982. It became the inspiration and the opportunity for his first wine under the Peter Franus label, a Zinfandel, in 1987.  

You will not want to miss meeting Peter, or tasting his wines.  Limited production, and highly rated...this will be an evening to remember!
