North America s first Tasting Room and Winery established by a Mexican Migrant Vineyard Worker.
Robledo (ro’bla’do), n. for oak tree; strength, longevity and grace.
Reynaldo Robledo Sr. came to the U.S in 1968, crossing the border from Michoacan, Mexico on February 25 and starting work the very next day. He started pruning grapes on February 26 in Calistoga; “the grapes, that’s all I knew”. It’s this love of grapes, an intuitive touch, dedication and hard work that combined to earn him the ‘American Dream’. http://www.robledofamilywinery.com/index.htm
