O'Napa the secrets and stories you hold. Those Irish and
German families O mine were there and now almost gone. Wine is your crop but my
prize is my family line. From Alta Heights to Carneros, from Spencer Street to
the Salvador Area, you hold history of a simpler time.
Those Vienop's farmed fruit orchards and knew cigars. Those McLaughlin's knew dairy and sold milk. The Flanagan's were the ultimatefarmers with dairy, vegetable crops, and
grapes. Vino of Carneros did not have quite the same meaning as today but the
reputation was growing at the time.
The Flanagan's, McLaughlin's, and Maxwell's brought with them their Irish Catholic heritage as farmers in the Napa Valley. My Vienop's and Borchers' brought with them their farming skills and Lutheran religion.
Times have changed some but family ties still carry my heart to Napa.
