David Girard Vineyards

By the late nineties, David was up and running, selling his entire Merlot harvest from 14 acres to Robert Mondavi on a ten-year contract. But, like the intrepid forebears of the region, a passion for discovery and a hearty appetite for risk soon got the best of him. “My life is more a product of curiosity than it is any great vision,” David once revealed. So after just a few years of grapes sales, new acreage was planted, and David Girard Vineyards was born.
