The above picture was taken in front of Brun and Chaix winery circa 1890. The man with the mustache and holding a glass of wine is our Great-grandfather Lafayette Stice, a Rutherford Farmer and Winemaker. He was a leader in the wine industry at the turn of the twentieth century up to Prohibition.
That picture was taken around 120 years ago. The first airplane was yet to fly. The Great San Francisco earthquake was yet to happen. The first World War was yet to be fought. And John M. Piña was yet to leave Spain.
And this is what that area of Ladera Winery looked like in 2006
The Piña Brothers: Davie, Larry, John & Ranndy
