Sibling Strength
Legacy of Art & Wine
When siblings Rene Byck and Sonia Byck-Barwick heard Paradise Ridge Winery had burned, it was the strength of their family and community that helped them feel the love in the air. With the estate vineyard and sculpture gardens spared, the siblings will rebuild the winery. Just months after California’s most destructive fire in history, Rene and Sonia embody what it means to be resilient.

Kanzler Vineyards consistently earned 93-points for their 2015 and 2016 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. According to Wine Spectator the 2016 vintage is, "Brimming with rich, juicy wild berry and blackberry fruit, shaded by space and light oak notes. Sings and dances, maintaining balance and focus.
