Girard Winery

Girard's story began over 30 years ago. Initially, they didn't make much of a splash in quality terms, although the purchase of 18 acres of vineyard on Pritchard Hill gave an indication of what was to come. Then nothing really happened. And nothing after that either. It was only when Pat Roney, a homegrown talent who had successfully built up brands like Chateau St Jean and the delicatessen specialist Dean & DeLuca, sank his teeth into Girard that things started to happen. In short order, Roney, together with winemaker Marco DiGiulio, has managed to build up Girard's reputation. By expanding and securing some 40 acres of vineyards around Napa, they can today offer a wide range of different appellations.
