In 1838, George Yount rendered some untold services to General Mariano Vallejo. His reward was eleven thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven acres of land. Twenty-six years after, Yount gave one thousand and forty acres, of the land to his granddaughter and her husband as a wedding gift. Her name was Elizabeth, and her husband’s name was Thomas Rutherford.
Thomas Rutherford, towards the end of the eighteenth century, began to grow grapevines and eventually over the years mastered the art of producing high-quality wine. So began the history of wine and winery in Rutherford.
Although Thomas Rutherford had long gone, the town, Rutherford, with its small population of fewer than a hundred households still boasts of the quality of the wine.
