| Introduction | In 1972, John and Barbara MacCready bought their property on the Eastern Highlands of California and pioneered the rebirth of mountain viticulture in the re-emerging premium wine region of El Dorado County. At that time all the foothills were classified as Zinfandel country so when we planted Cabernet Sauvignon we were bucking tradition as we have ever since. Luckily we planted the cab on a site which produces great Cabernet Sauvignon. I am a pioneer. One had to be to start a winery in El Dorado County, California, USA. As it turned out it was a great move. Lots of frinds of the winery and personal also.
