Fetzer is a large estate in Mendocino County. It was founded in 1968 when Barney and Kathleen Fetzer and their sons bought a ranch and converted a barn into a winery. By the 1980s the family had acquired additional land and was producing large quantities of numerous wines, from Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay to Syrah and White Zinfandel. In 1992 Fetzer was purchased Brown-Forman Corp. and in 2011 Fetzer was purchased by Vina Concha Y Toro. Over the decades Fetzer has been a leader in green practices and organic wine production. Today the estate makes a large portfolio of wines and retains its commitment to environmental sustainability.
