Lasseter Family Winery is a winery located in Glen Ellen, Sonoma County, California. The winery was founded in 2000 by Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios CCO John Lasseter and his wife, Nancy Lasseter. The winery, once inhabited by the Grand Cru Winery, produces approximately 1,200 cases of French red wine blends annually, with the capacity to produce up to 6,000. The winery grows Bordeaux and Rhône varietals on 27 acres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Lasseter Family Winery )〕 One of the Lasseters' winemaking mentors was the late Jess Jackson, of Kendall-Jackson. ==History== In 2000, after several years of amateur wine-making, the Lasseters bought 50 bare acres in Glen Ellen and planted syrah, grenache and mourvedre Rhône varieties. They bought an adjoining 35-acre property in 2002 with merlot and cabernet sauvignon grapes, then added mablec and cabernet franc to create the French red wine blends they prefer. In 2005, the Lasseters brought aboard winemaker Julia Iantosca. Iantosca had spent time as the winemaker at Stevenot Vineyards in Murphys, William Wheeler Winery and Lambert Bridge Winery, both in Healdsburg, and worked closely with consulting winemaker Merry Edwards, who helped inspire Iantosca's love of blended wines. In 2011, they introduced their winery’s new package. The packaging highlights original proprietary names for their Enjoué Rosé, Chemin de Fer, Amoureux and Paysage with labels designed by internationally acclaimed, long-time Sonoma Valley artist Dennis Ziemienski. Later that same year, they unveiled their eco-friendly, state-of-the-art winery and began accepting visitors by appointment only.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://lasseterfamilywinery.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/come-visit-us-winery-now-open-by-appointment/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lasseter Family Winery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
