Sam was a good man with a big heart. I vividly remember the day some 40+ years ago when I was a young mother struggling to walk a tired and resistant toddler home down Spain Street in Sonoma and Sam kindly offered me -then a complete stranger- a ride home. To this day, I fondly recall that generosity. May the goodness that Sam generated permeate this world for a long time to come! Blessings to his soul and to all the family and friends who are grieving this loss.

Rest in peace, Sam. Your passion for winemaking in Sonoma County, a legacy that spanned three generations, touched the hearts of many. The gods surely have a special place for you, just as you held a deep love for the enchanting world of wine. Your spirit will forever inspire those who cherish the craft.
