Ang dalubhasa sa alak sa California na si Elin McCoy ay nag-chart ng pag-asenso ng Trefethen Family Vineyards ng Napa at ibinabahagi ang kanyang mga tala sa pagtikim mula sa kanilang koleksyon ng alak, kabilang ang Library Selection Chardonnay at Cabernet Sauvignons mula 1979-2015 ...
Noong 2014, nang lumindol ang isang pangunahing lindol sa Napa Valley, ang kalabasa ng Trefethen Family Vineyards ay may kulay na 19ikasiguradong halos gumuho ang kahoy na gawa sa alak.
Nakasandal na nakahilig, ang napakalaking gusali ay parang isang nawawalang dahilan, ngunit ang Trefethens ay kumuha ng isang tauhan upang pataparin ito patayo at ginugol ng 33 buwan sa pagpapanumbalik nito.
Ang uri ng pagpapasiya na iyon ay isang dahilan kung bakit ang yaman ng alak ng pamilya sa Napa's Oak Knoll District ay umunlad mula nang itatag ito 50 taon na ang nakalilipas.
25 mga wineries lamang ang mayroon sa Napa nang bumili si Eugene Trefethen at ang kanyang asawa ng isang sira na 440-acre na garyong alak noong 1968 at nagsimulang magtanim ng mga ubas sa gravelly soil ng kanilang pangunahing bukid. Ang kanilang anak na si John at asawang si Janet ay naglabas ng unang komersyal na alak, isang Chardonnay, noong 1973.
'Ginamit namin ang mga barrels ng Bourbon sapagkat binabasa namin na dapat kaming mag-edad ng chardonnay sa oak,' sinabi ni Janet, habang sinusubukan namin ang ilang mas matatandang mga vintage ng kanilang sikat na puti.
