But, as Fess\u2019 daughter, Ashley explains, \u201c Fess is from Texas, so he can\u2019t do anything small. \u201cThe Fess Parker Winery and Vineyard now farms almost 700 acres on four vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County.<\/p>\n<p>The characters Fess portrayed, Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, inspired generations of Americans. Throughout the late 1950\u2019s and 1960\u2019s Fess was at the pinnacle of a television career that has an unprecedented impact upon American popular culture. But it was Fess\u2019 entrepreneurial spirit that prompted his leaving Hollywood to go into business for himself. The traits that Crockett and Boone embodied &#8211; integrity, resourcefulness and good humor &#8212; carried over to Fess\u2019 personal life and formed the foundation upon which the family business was built. First-class hospitality has always been at the core of their ventures, first as hoteliers and eventually with the opening of the winery.<\/p>\n<p>Working as a family has always been a great source of pride and pleasure for the Parker family. Eli Parker began in the family business as assistant winemaker in 1989. After several years of learning the craft at the side of renowned and accomplished winemakers, Eli took the reigns as winemaker himself with the 1995 vintage. A leader of the winery since its inception, it was in 1996 that Eli formally assumed the title and responsibilities of President. In the early 1990\u2019s, Ashley ran the first tastings out of the barrel room and represented the winery at trade shows. In 1998, Ashley became Eli\u2019s partner, working on the public relations and sales and marketing teams. The presence of Fess and his wife Marcy as the founding visionaries of the winery is a vital and enduring one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fess-parker-rose-wine-beverage-warehouse-002.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4542\" src=\"http:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fess-parker-rose-wine-beverage-warehouse-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fess-parker-rose-wine-beverage-warehouse-002.jpg 900w, https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fess-parker-rose-wine-beverage-warehouse-002-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fess-parker-rose-wine-beverage-warehouse-002-768x310.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Story<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Driving north along the pastoral Foxen Canyon Wine Trail feels like traveling back to California\u2019s early days. Rolling hills frame vast meadows, deer and wildlife roam free, and pristine landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see. This peaceful environment enticed the late Fess Parker into buying a 714-acre ranch here back in 1988. The Texas-born actor, who played the television roles of Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone in the 1950s and 1960s, had moved his family to Santa Barbara in the early 1960s and begun construction of a blufftop home. When heavy rains caused it to collapse onto the beach, he revised his plans and headed inland.<\/p>\n<p>There, he discovered the Foxen Canyon property, where he initially planned to run cattle, plant a few grapes to sell to other vintners, and establish a small winery. Parker, an only child, dreamed of starting a family business that he could pass on to future generations. He asked his children to join him, and they planted a five-acre experimental Riesling vineyard in 1989. Eli, his son, started as assistant winemaker and spent three years under the tutelage of acclaimed enologist Jed Steele before taking the helm. Eli then planted more vines and started a four-year project to build a cutting-edge winery and tasting room.<\/p>\n<p>Eli Parker and his sister Ashley continue to stay involved as stewards of the family\u2019s vision for the winery while Ashley\u2019s husband Tim Snider serves as President and oversees day-to-day operations. The family\u2019s vineyard is the 120-acre Rodney\u2019s Vineyard, named after Fess Parker\u2019s late son-in-law, at the 400-acre Foxen Canyon Road estate where the winery is located. They also source grapes from Camp Four vineyard in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, which Parker planted in 1998 as well as vineyards in the cooler Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley appellations. Blair Fox assumed the role of head winemaker in 2005. In recent years, the winery has sharpened its focus to produce more small-lot, vineyard-designated wines made from high-quality Rhone and Burgundian varietals, which have won awards in national wine competitions.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fessparker.com\/Winery\/Our-Story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here to continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 Days of Ros\u00e9 | #21 | Fess Parker | Pinot Noir Ros\u00e9 | 2016 | Santa Rita Hills | California | $16.99 sale!
