Lily was born in Manhattan and moved with her family to El Molino when she was nine. The old ghost winery had been converted to a home by Great Aunt Nancy shortly after the end of Prohibition. Ghosts and bats abounded in the circa 1871 cave. Since child labor was never frowned upon, there was a lot to be learned in the age-old tradition of apprenticeship under her winemaking father.

Like Lily, Jon does a little bit of everything from winemaking to sales. He was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa and moved to Cape Town when he was eighteen. After a year in the Navy, he spent the next ten pursuing his passion for surfing, which resulted in his own business designing and manufacturing boards.

Taste with Jon and Lily BUY THE WINES, invite your friends, and let us entertain you.

Maker Info
El Molino Winery

Founded in 1871, El Molino was one of the first wineries in the Napa Valley and operated until Prohibition. Restored in 1981, conditions are ideal for the limited production of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The label is the original design introduced in 1871, displaying the Bale Mill, or “El Molino.”

 

The grapes are grown at our Star Vineyard in Rutherford where the Chardonnay was planted in 1978 and the first Pinot Noir block in 1991. We strive to achieve a faithful expression of the vineyard and vintage.
