James Laube's Wine Flights
The Seghesios may have sold their family winery, but that doesn't mean they're out of the business
Posted: June 6, 2011 By James Laube
One thing I've learned about wine is this: You can never count anyone out.
Vineyards may get sold or replanted, but they seldom disappear. Brands that fail often take on second lives that are greater than their first go-round. Witness Charles F. Shaw, a.k.a. Two-Buck Chuck, which ended up selling hundreds of millions of cases after Fred Franzia resurrected the defunct name. Winemakers usually only bow out when they are too old and Father Time comes knocking.
That's why I expect the Seghesio family is merely shifting gears. They have sold their winery, perhaps for a handsome sum, which should put them in the position of doing what they want, giving them a new lease on life.

The saga of Inglenook weaves in and out of Napa’s history
Posted: April 15, 2011 By James Laube
Inglenook's owner after Prohibition, John Daniel Jr., set the highest winemaking standards in Napa valley. André Tchelistcheff, who worked at Beaulieu, across the highway in Rutherford, said Daniel’s motto was “pride not profits.” Daniel went so far as to declassify, unheard of then. The 1945 and 1947 vintages were sold in bulk. Eventually, Daniel himself went bankrupt.
Now, Francis Ford Coppola plans to revive the label.
