  • Interesting article about the place: http://www.sfchronicle.us/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/05/31/FDRO17OULV.DTL&type=wine
  • Tasting room now open.
  • The wine division has split from the beer set and is now called Treasury Wine Estates. Mostly the same people but it sounds better to say Estate and Wine when marketing pricey wine instead of saying Fosters (means Beer, Mate).
