Frog's
Leap was founded in 1981 on a spot along Mill Creels known as the Frog Farm. An
old ledger revealed that around the turn of the century frogs were raised there
and sold for $.33 a dozen, destined no doubt, for the tables of Victorian San
Francisco gourmets. Now in their sixteenth year of production, Frog's Leap and
its owners John and Julie Williams, are happily ensconced at the historic Red
Barn property in Rutherford. This grand and Welcoming building was originally
built as a winery in 1884. It is now not only home to some of the Napa Valley's
best wines but also to what has to be the wine world's best motto - "Time's fun
when you're having flies!" A strong commitment to sustainable agriculture on the
part of Frog's Leap's vineyards complements the winery's goal: to have fun making
elegant wines with superb balance: a crisp and vivacious Sauvignon Blanc, a spicy
and engaging Zinfandel, a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a rich barrel-fermented
Carneros Chardonnay, and a supple, fruit-filled Merlot.| Search for Frog's Leap Wines to Purchase online |
