In the late 1970's, Bob and Patty Brower set out to fulfill their dream. They saw the potential in Monterey County as a quality wine growing region, and in 1982 began building what is now known as Château Julien Wine Estate in Carmel Valley, California. This year they are celebrating 26 years in the wine business.

Gewurztraminer is in short supply for 2006
Gewurztraminer is in short supply for 2006. This year we only harvested 11.19 tons that will make approximately 541 cases of wine. We harvested this variety on October 2nd. This wine is normally released just prior to Thanksgiving on the year of harvest.
Last year we harvested 24.65 tons on September 19th that made 1,192 cases of wine.
This represents a 55% decline for this years harvest.
Pictured here is Marta Kraftzeck welcoming the grapes to the Chateau.
