Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, Napa Valley
Pioneer of winemaking in California, H.W. Crabb first planted his vineyard in the mid-19th century. Known as one of the best sources of grapes at that time, Crabb named it ‘To Kalon’ from Greek meaning ‘the Highest Good’. In the 20th century, To Kalon found new glory as the source of the legendary Georges de Latour wines made by famed winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff.
