Tandem Vineyards was founded by Greg La Follette, a much-admired Napa Valley winemaker who learned his trade at Beaulieu Vineyards, Kendall-Jackson, Jarvis, Flowers and other Napa producers. Tandem was founded in 2001 to produce small-lot Russian River Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In 2009 La Follette took on a business partner and investor, vintner Pete Knight, and the estate was renamed La Follette. Greg continues as winemaker. The estate sources grapes from Mendocino, the Sonoma Coast, the Russian River Valley and the Sonoma Mountains. La Follette makes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
