From a remote village in Michoacan, Mexico, to the vineyards of Sonoma County, this is the story of Ulises Valdez' pursuit of the American Dream, culminating in the first releases of Valdez Family Winery, on July 8, 2006. This year marks twenty four years in the vineyard business for Ulises, first as field worker, then as a partner in the vineyard management business, and now owner of his own, Valdez & Sons Vineyard Management and Valdez Family Winery. The opportunities of owning and long-term leasing his own vineyards allows Ulises to select his favorite blocks for his own wines. Collaborators include such acclaimed winemakers as Mark Aubert and Jeff Cohn.
