History
Many of the redwood tanks used for aging date back to 1936, as does much of the equipment still used in the winemaking. The grape crusher is a Model 10 Garolla from Italy purchased in 1941; the hydraulic basket presses are from Healdsburg, California, purchased after WWII, when military production lessened; the plated wine filters are from Fresno, California, and date back to 1947. Aged oak barrels are used to finish the premium wines.
In many ways, time has stood still for A. Nonini Winery, but the quality of the wine produced is consistently excellent, and the loyal patronage of our customers is a tribute to that excellence.

Until his health failed in 1999, Reno was still very active in the winery, blending wines and entertaining customers with stories of his life in the business for sixty plus years. His smoldering cigar and knowledge of wine were a delight to those lucky enough to find him in the wine tasting room when they visited. Reno passed from this life on February 11, 2000, at home and on the same property where he was born eighty-five years earlier. His love of the wines and his knowledge of the business have passed to his only son, Tom Nonini, who was the General Manager until his retirement in 2006, and his only grandson James Jordan, who is now the General Manager and winemaker, making Nonini Winery a fourth generation family business. James also maintains and farms the family vineyards.
