Why we like the Van der Kamps:        

Kevin: "I was hounding them every year for three years for fruit. Finally, this year (2019), they interviewed me... we were sitting on their vineyard by a pond being eaten by mosquitos while we talked about Pinot-making philosophy. At the end of the conversation, we shook hands on three tons.... I did not have Zika or Malaria. So I guess I have that going for me." 

Why we like the vineyard:

It's perhaps the most gorgeous vineyard location in all of Sonoma County. 

Animal Friends:

There are two vineyard dogs - Milo & Pono; and there are rattlesnakes... we had a spook on a visit, but it was just a gopher snake.
