In 1970 San Francisco firefighter Cecil De Loach and wife Christine purchased a zinfandel vineyard in the Russian River Valley. After producing wines under their own name for 30 years, they started a new family winery, Hook & Ladder, named for the firetruck Cecil once drove.

Their 375 acres of estate vineyards produce cool-climate grapes from which they hand-make top-rated zinfandel, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, gewürztraminer, white-zinfandel, and a popular blend called "The Tillerman".

There are those who have invested more time in the grapes of the Russian River Valley and made wine here for longer. But few have made such and impact on proving this region's unqualified suitability for producing wines of world-class quality. More info about this winery may be found at www.hookandladderwinery.com.
