A longshoreman on the San Francisco docks, Terry Brandborg started making wine at home because his favorite uncle did. Soon the hobby became a vocation and in 1986 he launched his urban winery in Fairfax, California while pager-wearing kids peddled drugs on the corner. Fascinated by cool climate grapes, he and his wife Sue took the whole operation to Elkton, Oregon in 2002.
