Keeping Wine in the Family

The Salerno family, that is!

In just their second year of wine production, Jack and William Salerno of Manzanita Creek Winery have made wine that made the San Francisco Chronicle’s Top 100 list. The brothers are on a roll; as they collect gold medals for their Zinfandels, Petite Sirahs, Syrahs, and Pinot Noirs.
Also, last year at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair they received eleven medals--two Double Gold Best of Class, eight Gold, and one Silver.

The brothers are as even keeled as their wine as Jack explained how they first got into the wine business:

“We read some text books on winemaking,” says Jack, “then threw them away!”
