CHRISTIAN BROTHERS WINE CONNECTIONS RUN DEEP
The De La Salle Christian Brothers have a storied history in the Napa Valley as pioneering wine makers for the sake of education. With origins in 17th century France and an educational mission spanning the globe, the religious teaching order of the De La Salle Christian Brothers began making wine, and later brandy, in 1879 as an innovative way to augment funding for their burgeoning world-wide educational ministries and stake a proud claim in the Californian wine renaissance.
The Brothers expanded their operations from Martinez to Napa in 1930, building Mont La Salle on Mt. Veeder. Even through Prohibition, they enjoyed uninterrupted wine production, as they produced sacramental wine; then expanded further to occupy Greystone Cellars in St. Helena (now home to the Culinary Institute of America) where their brand of quality continued to gain market share before selling to Heublein Fine Wine Group in 1989.
Br. Timothy Diener, a chemistry teacher-turned-winemaker, was a renowned vintner and cellar master and a pioneer in shaping the legendary Napa Valley wine industry for the better part of the 20th century. Perhaps you’ve visited Greystone and seen his legendary corkscrew collection on display.
For five decades Justin-Siena has played a vital role in shaping the Valley by providing a college preparatory education that prepares young people to serve and to lead in an ever-changing world. Generations of wine industry professionals from grape growers to tasting room proprietors from Napa, Sonoma, and beyond make up the fabric of Justin-Siena. ACCESS 707 is an exclusive collection of wines from wineries directly or from the private collections of those in our community. All proceeds benefit the students of Justin-Siena.
