Inherit The Sheep

About:

All of this began in 1990 when we met while we were both working at Robert Mondavi Winery. Five years later, we married and began this great (and unendingly surprising) life adventure together! In 2000, Tersilla had an urge to move again and we decided to find a place with enough land that we could plant a little vineyard. And that is what led us to Inherit The Sheep Inherit the Sheep? Well... When we were lucky enough to finally find the perfect spot in the foothills of the Coombsville appellation region in southeast Napa Valley for both our family and a little vineyard, we made an unusual offer to the owners to make it as easy as possible for them to accept.

We committed to keeping and caring for the sheep that their children had raised in 4H (though, of course, we had no idea how to do that!)When the call came that the owners had accepted, Tersilla immediately exclaimed "Fantastic! We'll call it Inherit the Sheep, because we'll never inherit anything else in our lives!"Since then, we've added goats and chickens and have carried on with our beloved Basset Hound tradition. Though our dear Penelope, at 17 years and three months old, finally decided to join Beatrice in heaven, the exuberant and slightly spoiled (!) Annabelle is enough Bassett Hound to count for at least two! In addition, the sweet and formerly timid Pandora (a mix of Australian Cattle Dog and other not quite so clear ancestry) has adopted us and become Annabelle's BFF.
