Is There Really A "Contessa" Of Carneros...?

There IS a Contessa...and her name is Maureen Paladini. Ask anyone in Carneros where the Contessa is and they're sure to point you the way to the Castle. The vineyard is planted with one half Pinot Noir grape and one half Chardonnay. For now, the Contessa is only producing Pinot Noir, however you never know what the future may hold.
