Although
the Bogle family has been farming since
the mid-1800's, it was not until 1968 that
the father and son team of Warren and Chris
Bogle planted their first 20 acres of wine
grapes in Clarksburg, California. In this
small farming community nestled along the
Sacramento River, the Bogle family's years
of hard work have developed into an impressive
grape growing operation, as well as a nationally
acclaimed winery.
Today
Bogle Vineyard farms over 1,200 acres of wine grapes in the Delta region. While the winery was established ten years after the first grapes were planted, its success has grown tremendously along with the vineyards.
The success of Bogle over the years is firmly rooted in one thing: the day-to-day involvement of the
Bogle family in the hands-on effort to produce and promote quality wines. Patty Bogle became involved in the early years of the vineyards with her late husband Chris, when they planted fields together in the early 1970's. Patty took over operation of the winery in 1989 and has directed production to new and exciting heights.
Patty's daughter Jody also contributes to
the family business by being active in customer
support, as well as running the wine club
and handling all international sales. Patty's
son Warren, named after the founder of
Bogle Vineyards, is the sixth generation
of the Bogle family to farm this fertile
Delta region. Like his grandfather and father,
Warren understands that in order to produce
quality wines, you must first produce quality
grapes. This tradition of respect for the
land and the vines is crucial to the success
of Bogle wines.
The production of Bogle wine is
influenced by this family tradition as well
as the ever-changing trends in the wine
industry. Since 1992, Bogle Winery has participated
in the California Appellation Program. In
this program, winemakers source fruit from
some of the best vineyards in the state
and blend them with Bogle's Estate Vineyards
in Clarksburg, thus assuring that the wines
benefit from many of the incredible grape
growing regions of California. Each and
every Bogle wine created is a unique and
exciting blend with true varietal character
and an approachable style. With their deep
commitment to quality, the Bogle
family wouldn't have it any other way.
Wines produced by Bogle are 2005 Sauvignon
Blanc, 2004 Sauvignon Blanc, 2005 Chenin
Blanc, 2004 Chardonnay, 2004 Pinot Noir,
