When Michael and Alexandra Marston became involved with the, then, Menasco Ranch thirty two years ago, it was not long after their marriage. It was also shortly after Al Menasco, a barn storming aviation pioneer, had hosted Clark Gable and Kay Spreckels at the ranch for their honeymoon (Menasco was their best man).
Marston Family Vineyard is the home to the Marston family including their two children, John and Elizabeth. The family maintains constant contact with the vineyard and has worked hard to nurture and enrich it, Alexandra Marston echoes the sentiment, "this land is an intrinsic part of our family life."
The 1998 vintage marks a new beginning for the Marston family, as it is the product of their commitment to consistently produce limited quantities of the highest quality wine under their own label. It is first and foremost a labor of love. "It is an exciting opportunity," as Michael Marston puts it, "to share the fruits of our labor, to make new friends and to extend the family."
