The Frediani family has been growing some of Calistoga’s best grapes for over 100 years—and Jim Frediani’s aptitude for growing? Well, we call him the Grape Whisperer.

You only need to spend about 5 minutes at the kitchen table with Jim and his mother, Jeanne, to understand what “salt of the earth” truly means. But don’t let that fool you. Our founder, Greg Brown, said “Jim has more knowledge about growing grapes in the cuff of his jeans then I would attain in my lifetime.” Which is why Frediani grapes will continue to be the cornerstone of T-Vine wines for a long, long time.
