Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Little Sister – Wine Story
By Ross Halleck ~
The grapes for our Little Sister Sauvignon Blanc are sourced from “Patient Terrier” Vineyard named in homage to the faithful companion of its owner, Greg Conklin.
Rather than “Patient Terrier,” we chose to name the wine for a family story.
In 2002, we were judged #1 Pinot Noir in the United States for the first crop from Halleck Vineyard Estate,…
Caring for an Adult
By Ross Halleck ~
It feels like yesterday when we planted Halleck Vineyard.

Love is an enormous word, despite only four letters
By Ross Halleck ~

For example, saying, “I love you” for the first time is a huge threshold in any relationship; but we easily bandy the word about for preferences (I love popcorn), activities (I love to ski), bodily functions (I love a good sleep) in closing letters,…
Sebastopol’s Hilly New Haven for Pinot Noir
By Ross Halleck ~
Jennifer and I planted Halleck Vineyard in the early 90s. Legend was created when our first vintage as a wine (2001 Tandem Winery, Halleck Vineyard, Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir) earned first place in the 2002 Pinot Noir Summit. This was also Greg Lafollette’s first vintage under his new personal label, Tandem. He had recently left Flowers,…
