Tfie origin of many of the California
wineries makes interesting reading and
Is almost as Intriguing as the stories of
the Gold Rush Days. The Inglenook
Vineyard Company, located In Rutherford,
the heart of the Napa Valley, is a
case in point. The founder of this now
prestigious winery was Gustave Ferdinand
Niebaum, a Finn, who at the age
of 19 was a full-fledged sea captain. He
made a fortune sailing and trading in
the Aleutian Chain of Islands. At the time
Alaska was acquired by the USA (1867), Captain Nelbaum
had acquired a cargo of seal skins with a value of a half
million dollars. He was just 26 when he sold his furs in San
Francisco.
Because his wife did not like the sea, the wealthy young
Captain decided to buy land and have his own vineyard
and winery. He had traveled to many of the European
wineries and had a lasting devotion to the vintner's art. In
1879 he purchased a portion of the old Mexican Caymus
Rancho grant at Rutherford. The property was owned by
W.C. Watson and was called Inglenook. Captain Niebaum
journeyed again to Europe and brought back cuttings of
the choicest wine varieties.
By the time of his death in 1908 Inglenook was an
established winery with a reputation of producing wines
comparable to Europe's finest. The winery continued in
the family until 1964 when It was sold to United Vintners
which In turn became part of the Heublein empire in
1969. Inglenook was the first winery to label many of the
better known varletals such as White PI not. Red PI not and
Charbono.
Among the estate bottled red wines of Inglenook are
Cabernet Sauvlgnon, Plnot Noir, Red Plnot, Camay and
Charbono. Whites Include Semi I Ion, Plnot Chardonnay,
Riesling and Tramlner. Navalle Rose is a distinctive
sweet wine named after a stream that runs through the
winery property. Vintage appetizer wines, dessert wines
and fortified wines are also produced. Address of the
organization is Inglenook Vineyard Co., Rutherford,
Calif., Phone Woodward 3-2216.
