Kingston Family Vineyards is a Chilean winery located in the Casablanca Valley of Chile. Considered pioneers for growing red wine grapes in a valley known for whites, they have been called “one of the area’s most promising producers”.〔Decanter World Wine Awards (2009). ("The New World's Most Exciting New Terroirs" ). Retrieved September 16, 2011.〕 The vineyard was founded in the early 1990s by the Kingston Family. == History == Although Kingston Family Vineyards was established in the early 1990s, the land upon which it was built has a much longer history. Founded by the family’s patriarch, C.J. Kingston, a copper miner from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, was drawn to Chile in a search for gold in the early 1900s. Unable to find gold, Kingston was left with a simple 7,500 acre farm in the Casablanca Valley of Chile, located between the city of Santiago and the oceanside city of Valparaiso. Since then the ranch has been owned by Kingston descendents who set up a cattle ranch and dairy.〔San Francisco Chronicle (2007). ("Chile's Pinot Prospectors" ). Retrieved September 10, 2011.〕 Though still a working cattle farm and dairy, much of the ranch’s land has been re-devoted to grape growing as a result of Courtney, Tim, and Michael Kingston who founded the winery. It was Courtney Kingston, the great great granddaughter of CJ Kingston who formulated the idea to plant vineyards on the land and sell the grapes to the wineries in the region while in business school at Stanford University.〔Connecticut Cottages and Gardens (2011). ("Liquid Gold" ). Retrieved September 16, 2011.〕 After discovering that the wineries in the region did not know how to work with Pinot noir grapes, they decided to produce the wines themselves. They consulted several winemakers and eventually partnered with Byron Kosuge, a winemaker from California and Evelyn Vidal, an up-and-coming female winemaker from Chile.〔
